AP&C Inks New Agreement with Airbus to Provide Titanium Powders

AP&C-a GE Additive company has signed a new agreement with Airbus to provide titanium powders (Ti-6AI-4V) for use in metal additive manufacturing (AM) applications. The new multiyear agreement to provide Ti-6AI-4V powders deepens AP&C's working relationship with Airbus, which dates back several years.

"The adoption of metal additive technology in aerospace continues to gather momentum. One of the challenges of matching that pace in a highly-regulated industry, like aerospace, is building a robust supply chain that can not only meet the industry standard for conventionally and additively manufactured parts, but also add value," said Alain Dupont, CEO at AP&C.

Dupont continued, "Our approach is to be more than just a supplier of metal powders to our customers. To scale metal AM, acceleration can only be achieved by sharing knowledge best practice to lower risk and increase stability. One way we have supported Airbus in recent years, for example, has been to help its in-house AM team establish its own methods and processes to qualify Ti-6AI-4V powders."

AP&C offers large-scale production of plasma atomized titanium, aluminum and nickel powders. The company continues to invest in its plasma atomization technology that allows new materials to be produced, and ultimately reduces the cost of plasma atomized powders, while maintaining the high quality required by metal AM users in the aerospace industry.

AP&C has grown its capacity to more than 1,000 tons of titanium powder per year. This large-scale production is performed in more than a dozen powder production lines at two manufacturing sites.
