Custom alloy powders. Recycled titanium. Built for additive manufacturing.
Solid State Metal produces small development lots of custom alloy powder and is building a domestic supply of traceable titanium powder made from 100% recycled feedstock. We support tailored particle-size distributions, customer-supplied feedstock, and technical characterization for R&D, qualification, and production-development programs.
Powder programs built around your material requirements.
Start with a small custom-alloy development campaign or evaluate a traceable, recycled titanium supply program.
Custom Alloy Powder
Produce and evaluate new alloy compositions without committing to a large conventional atomization campaign. Development quantities can begin around 500 grams, with customer-defined chemistry, particle-size distribution, and characterization.
- Customer-defined compositions
- Small development quantities
- Tailored LPBF, EBM, and DED cuts
- Powder characterization available
Recycled Titanium Powder
A domestic titanium powder program using traceable, 100% recycled feedstock. Initial development focuses on Ti-6Al-4V powder for additive manufacturing applications where cost, source traceability, and domestic supply matter.
- 100% recycled feedstock
- U.S.-based manufacturing
- Lot-level source documentation
- Chemistry and interstitial testing
*Minimum quantities and delivered yield depend on alloy chemistry, feedstock form, processing route, and target particle-size distribution.
Designed for programs conventional powder suppliers do not prioritize.
Small lots
Begin material development without purchasing a production-scale atomization campaign.
Flexible specifications
Define the composition, feedstock, quantity, particle-size distribution, and test package around the technical objective.
Qualification-minded data
Receive traceable powder supported by agreed chemistry, interstitial, PSD, morphology, flow, and density measurements.
From material requirement to characterized powder.
Each project begins with a defined technical objective and ends with documented material, not just a container of powder.
Define
Establish composition, feedstock, quantity, target PSD, additive process, and acceptance criteria.
Produce
Prepare the feedstock and execute the selected powder-production process.
Classify
Sieve or classify the powder into the required particle-size range.
Characterize
Measure agreed chemistry, interstitials, PSD, morphology, flow, and density.
Deliver
Package the powder with lot identification and the agreed technical data package.

Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 powder specifications.
The Rev A technical data sheet identifies four standard particle-size distributions, representative highly spherical morphology, and reference chemistry values for Solid State Metal Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 powder.
Supporting materials development from alloy exploration through qualification.
Aerospace and defense
Custom compositions, domestic-material programs, and controlled powder lots for advanced-manufacturing development.
Universities and national laboratories
Small quantities for alloy discovery, process research, and experimental material programs.
New alloy development
Rapid screening of compositions before committing to large melt and production campaigns.
LPBF material qualification
Controlled lots for parameter development, density coupons, microstructure, and mechanical-property testing.
Powder DED
Coarser powder fractions for deposition development, repair, and higher-rate applications.
AM parameter development
Consistent material lots for studying process windows, repeatability, and powder-to-part relationships.
Built for qualification. Transparent about status.
Solid State Metal distinguishes between development material, specification-targeted material, and customer-qualified production material.
Unless explicitly stated in a quotation or certificate of analysis, materials should not be considered approved for flight hardware, medical implants, or other safety-critical applications.
Development material
Produced for research, feasibility, and initial print evaluation.
Specification-targeted material
Tested against an agreed chemistry, PSD, and powder-property target.
Customer-qualified material
Evaluated and approved through the customer’s application-specific process.
Have an alloy, feedstock stream, or particle-size requirement that standard powder suppliers will not support?
Send us your material, quantity, target PSD, and characterization requirements. We will complete an initial technical feasibility review before preparing a proposal.
