Globus Metal Powders

GMP® EUROFER97™

Ferritic-Martensitic Steel Powder for Nuclear and High-Temperature Applications

GMP® EUROFER97™ from Globus Metal Powders is a ferritic-martensitic steel powder optimised for high-temperature strength, thermal stability, and radiation resistance. Produced via argon inert gas atomisation, this powder features ultra-low oxygen content, tightly controlled minor elements, and optimised spherical particle morphology, making it suitable for PM-HIP, additive manufacturing (AM), metal injection moulding (MIM), and thermal spray applications. 

EUROFER97™ is specifically developed for nuclear energy applications, including fusion reactor components and high-temperature structural assemblies, where mechanical integrity, irradiation stability, and long-term thermal performance are essential. Tight control of residual elements reduces activation under neutron loading, allowing the material to be disposed of as low-level waste in a reasonable amount of time after decommission. 

Differentiation

Across the Globus portfolio: 

  • Versus nickel superalloys (718, 625, Alloy X, 939): EUROFER97 focuses on irradiation stability and high-temperature ferritic performance, whereas superalloys are optimised for creep, fatigue, and oxidation resistance in high-temperature aerospace and industrial applications. 
  • Versus Invar 36: Invar provides dimensional stability, while EUROFER97 delivers mechanical integrity under thermal and irradiation stress. 
  • Versus stainless steels (316L, F53): EUROFER97 outperforms conventional austenitic stainless steels in radiation resistance, thermal creep, and high-temperature structural stability, whereas 316L and F53 prioritise corrosion resistance. 
  • Versus ferritic/martensitic steels (P91, F53): EUROFER97 combines low activation, irradiation resistance, and high-temperature strength, differentiating it from P91, which is primarily used in power generation, and F53, which is optimised for chloride stress corrosion environments. 

GMP® ultra-low oxygen powders with tightly controlled minor elements reduce oxide inclusions and microstructural defects, critical for consistent PM-HIP densification and additive manufacturing. The spherical particle morphology and optimised particle size distribution (PSD) ensures predictable flow, uniform packing, and defect-free layer deposition. 

Applications

  • Nuclear & Fusion Energy: reactor structural components, heat exchangers, and high-temperature assemblies, including first wall and breeder blankets. 
  • High-Temperature Power Systems: critical components in energy plants requiring irradiation resistance. 
  • Additive Manufacturing: high-temperature, defect-free builds with predictable mechanical performance. 
  • PM-HIP & MIM: dense, high-strength components suitable for nuclear and energy applications. 
  • Thermal Spray & Hardfacing: protective coatings for high-temperature, irradiation-exposed components. 

Key Advantages

  • High-temperature strength, thermal stability, and irradiation resistance for nuclear and critical energy applications. 
  • Ultra-low oxygen and tightly controlled minor elements for defect-free densification. 
  • Spherical particle morphology and optimised PSD for predictable flow, packing, and layer deposition. 
  • Internal laboratory verification ensures chemistry, PSD, and density consistency. 
  • Customisable powders tailored for PM-HIP, AM, MIM, and thermal spray applications.
