Pre-approval Public Notice for Guangdong Xinda Alloy's Superalloy R&D and Manufacturing Project (Heyuan)

On October 15, 2026, Guangdong Xinda Alloy Co., Ltd.'s 'Superalloy R&D and Manufacturing Production Project' entered the pre-approval public notice stage for planning and architectural design adjustments. The project is located in Heyuan, Guangdong, with a total planned land area of 8,782.32 square meters. The notice concerns design adjustments requested by the company based on actual needs, involving architectural details such as optimization of external cantilevered decorative components. The project focuses on superalloy R&D and manufacturing; superalloys are key material systems for aero-engine hot-end components, gas turbines, and powder metallurgy powder production. Value for powder buyers: ① The establishment of this superalloy R&D and manufacturing project in Heyuan will increase supply options for superalloy master alloys and powder feedstock in South China; ② As the project is still in the planning stage, it is advisable to monitor subsequent environmental assessment and construction progress to evaluate its superalloy grade positioning and powder atomization support plans.

US Metal Powder Maker Amaero Lists on Nasdaq: IPO Priced at $4.25 to Raise $20 Million, Circuit Breaker Triggered on First Day

Amaero, a US-based supplier of titanium and refractory metal powders for defense and aerospace 3D printing, completed its Nasdaq cross-listing pricing on October 15, 2026: 4.7 million shares at $4.25 per share, raising approximately $20 million under the ticker AMRO. The offering price was slightly below the ASX latest close converted value of about $4.31. Baird and Lake Street Capital Markets served as joint book-running managers. On the first day of trading, the stock rose as much as 7%, triggering a stock exchange circuit breaker. Headquartered in McDonald, Tennessee, Amaero produces spherical refractory metal and titanium alloy powders for additive manufacturing (covering niobium, tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, rhenium, and titanium alloys) and manufactures large near-net-shape components via powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP). Its products target hypersonic weapon systems, satellite propulsion, strategic missiles, aerospace, and medical fields. The company initially filed in September to offer 7.5 million shares and raise over $50 million (at a converted price of $7.06), but later adjusted the scale due to market conditions, with the final raise shrinking about 60% from the original target. For the 12 months ended June 30, 2026, the company reported revenue of approximately $12 million. Net proceeds from this offering are about $15.7 million, of which up to $10 million is planned for capital equipment purchases over the next 12 months, with the remainder for working capital and R&D. Value to powder buyers: 1) Amaero is a core US domestic supplier of spherical refractory metal and titanium alloy powders; the IPO will support its capital expenditures and capacity expansion, potentially enhancing supply stability for overseas customers purchasing its specialty powders such as niobium, tungsten, tantalum, and rhenium; 2) The PM-HIP large-component route is expanding concurrently, which will increase in-house use of upstream spherical powders and change the market supply structure; watch for subsequent equipment procurement announcements; 3) Note the going-concern risks and loss status disclosed in the prospectus.

Yangchun Quanda Metal Products Powder Metallurgy Project Filed: Water Atomization Plant to Produce 3,000 Tons of Metal Powder Annually

On October 15, 2026, Yangchun Quanda Metal Products Co., Ltd. completed the enterprise investment project filing for its powder metallurgy project (filing application date: October 15). The project is located in the Guangdong Yangjiang Yangchun Industrial Transfer Park, with a total investment of approximately RMB 30 million, leasing a plant area of 2,868.7 square meters. The main production equipment planned for the project includes medium-frequency furnaces, high-pressure water atomization towers, powder dryers, and injection molding equipment. The primary purchased raw materials are various alloys and stainless steel. The production process is as follows: alloys and stainless steel are melted in medium-frequency furnaces, water-atomized under high pressure, dried, then formed by MIM injection molding or press molding. After passing inspection, the products are packaged and stored. Once completed, the project will produce 3,000 tons of metal powder annually. Value for powder buyers: ① Adds 3,000 tons/year of stainless steel and alloy water-atomized powder capacity, serving both MIM and press-sintering downstream sectors, providing a nearby supply option in the Pearl River Delta MIM industry cluster; ② The small-scale water atomization line has a short commissioning cycle; attention should be paid to whether its stainless steel grades and particle size distribution match mainstream MIM requirements; ③ The investment scale is relatively small, so supply capacity will mainly serve as a regional supplement.
