Keep your powder dry: The overlooked impact of moisture in metal powders
Metal powders underpin many advanced manufacturing processes, yet one often-overlooked factor can significantly affect their performance: moisture. Excess moisture reduces flowability, accelerates oxidation, and increases the risk of porosity in finished parts. While standards do exist, traditional testing methods rarely offer real-time insight.
In this article, Dr Peter Moir and Dr Martin McMahon examine how moisture interacts with metal powders, the impact on processing, and how emerging measurement techniques can help safeguard powder quality and consistency.

PM-HIP The alternative to casting and forging that improves supply chain flexibility and sustainability
Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP) is an advanced manufacturing process that enables the production of large, high-integrity components with consistent, forged-like properties. As traditional casting and forging supply chains face growing challenges, PM-HIP offers a reliable alternative with shorter lead times and increased design flexibility.
Here, Amaero’s Eric Bono explains how the process supports resilient, domestic production of critical parts across sectors such as defence, energy, and aerospace, helping manufacturers reduce dependency on constrained supply chains while achieving demanding performance requirements.
