Advanced Powder Solutions for Key Industries

Powderloop’s hardmetal and cermet powders are trusted across industries that demand high-performance materials for surface engineering. From energy and aerospace to additive manufacturing and R&D, we supply powders designed to meet the technical challenges of thermal spray, laser cladding and other coating technologies.

Industries We Serve

We offer a wide range of powders for component manufacture, repair and refurbishment, and materials research. All powders are available in standard grades or custom formulations tailored to your process.

Exploration (Oil & Gas, Mining)

We supply high-performance hardmetal powders for components exposed to extreme wear, corrosion and heat. Our powders are ideal for drilling tools, pump components and stabilisers, offering thermal stability and extended component lifespan in harsh environments.

Energy (Nuclear, Steam Turbine)

Hardfacing coatings play a crucial role in reducing erosion of boiler components from high-velocity water or steam. Our powders are ideal for protective coatings in turbine components, shafts, valves and pumps, extending their operational lifespan

Automotive

From brake disc coatings to synchroniser rings, our powders support automotive components that require protection from friction, heat and particulate emissions. We are actively involved in the development of sustainable powder solutions that align with future emission standards.

Aerospace

We provide powders suitable for aerospace surface engineering, where precision and reliability are critical. Our small-batch capability and future NADCAP-aligned development support make us a strong partner for innovation in this sector.

General Manufacturing

Our powders help reduce wear and improve equipment efficiency across a wide range of manufacturing processes, including paper mills, printing and metal processing. We support MRO strategies by enabling better coating performance and longer service intervals.

Additive Manufacturing (AM)

Powderloop supports AM with spherical powders designed for consistent flowability and microstructural control. We work with AM users and material developers to deliver tailored compositions, including in-situ alloying options for next-generation builds.

Research & Development (R&D)

We support research institutes, universities and product development teams with low-volume powders, custom compositions and full analytical services. Our flexibility and rapid turnaround make us ideal for early-stage material development and prototyping.

Powder Solutions

for Every Application

We supply powders engineered for performance, precision and process compatibility across surface coating technologies such as HVOF, plasma spray and laser cladding. Whether you’re scaling production or trialling a new material, we offer the support and customisation you need.
