Globus Metal Powders

Toll Atomising

At Globus Metal Powders, our toll atomisation service provides customers with access to advanced inert gas (argon) atomisation technology for the production of high-quality, spherical metal powders. Designed for precision, consistency, and flexibility, this service allows clients to convert their own alloys into powders under tightly controlled conditions, all whilst maintaining full confidentiality and intellectual property protection. Toll atomising enables companies to access state-of-the-art powder production capabilities without the need for significant capital investment in expensive atomisation equipment, inert gas handling systems, or dedicated powder classification lines. 

Our atomisation facility operates under ultra-clean inert gas atmospheres, with rigorous control of oxygen, nitrogen, and other dissolved gases, preventing oxidation and ensuring exceptional powder purity. Each batch is monitored during atomisation, followed by post-production characterisation to confirm compliance with the customer’s specifications, including chemistry, particle size distribution (PSD), particle morphology, flowability, and oxygen content. This level of control guarantees that the powders are repeatable, high-performing, and suitable for critical applications such as Powder Metallurgy HIP (PM-HIP), additive manufacturing (AM), and thermal spray coatings. 

Benefits to manufacturers

By partnering with Globus, customers benefit from:
  • Access to advanced atomisation capability without capital investment. 
  • Tailored PSD control for AM, PM, or thermal spray applications.
  • Full traceability and batch documentation, supporting quality assurance and regulatory compliance. 
  • Strict segregation and cleaning protocols to minimise the risk of cross-contamination between alloys. 
Benefits to manufacturers

Who would benefit?

Our toll atomising service is ideal for alloy developers, research organisations, and manufacturers who require prototype batches or small production runs of high-performance powders. In-house expertise in alloy development, chemistry control, and particle engineering ensures that each powder is optimised for downstream processing, enabling superior densification, microstructural uniformity, and mechanical performance in finished components. 

From aerospace and defence to energy, marine, and automotive applications, Globus powders are trusted for producing repeatable, defect-free parts. The combination of controlled chemistry, ultra-low oxygen levels, and tight PSD management provides customers with the confidence to develop, qualify, and manufacture critical components that meet the most stringent technical and regulatory standards, supporting innovation across the most demanding industrial sectors.
