Arizona Tribune - SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Announces Installation of Plasma Spheroidization System

The PSS converts irregular metal powder into high-sphericity, high-purity powder suitable for additive manufacturing feedstock through plasma atomization. Spherical powders optimize manufacturing and performance properties that require advanced characterization and testing methods. They also provide validation of feedstock qualifications and other quality requirements for customers prior to initiating higher volume production with fewer defects. Companies engaged in additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy are the largest users of spherical powders for critical applications.

In addition to producing spherical powders, SCI has developed debinding capabilities with an efficient and cost-savings process conducted prior to sintering. It is particularly important for maintaining product integrity through increased flow, density, tensile strength, and material fatigue. Faster debinding can also improve throughput and reduce cycle times for the manufacture of customers' products.

Jeremy Young, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The PSS equipment complements our current manufacturing footprint and highlights the Company's strategic focus on advanced materials through additive manufacturing. We are now able to produce spherical powders and debind custom parts for customers. This comprehensive solution is especially important for companies engaged in the aeronautical, defense and biomedical markets. We will be launching targeted marketing initiatives in the third quarter of 2026 to support this extension of our business, initially through online campaigns and direct customer contact."
