Harson Shares disclosed on October 22 via its interactive platform that its second-tier controlled subsidiary, Harson Weite, has completed pilot-scale testing of titanium alloy powder produced using NPA (plasma atomization) and TPR (titanium particle size reconstruction) technologies. The product targets two application areas: 3D printing and MIM (metal powder injection molding), marking a key milestone for this listed company—originally founded in the footwear business—as it moves from laboratory to engineering-scale production in metal powder materials. The core highlight of this pilot success lies in the combination of process routes: NPA plasma atomization refines and spheroidizes titanium alloy droplets, while TPR titanium particle size reconstruction controls the powder particle size distribution. Together, they address the stringent requirements of 3D printing for sphericity, flowability, and oxygen content. Titanium alloy powder production has long been an industry challenge due to titanium's high reactivity and susceptibility to oxidation. Harson Weite operates this business independently as a subsidiary, indicating that the company is advancing titanium alloy powder as a standalone material category rather than as an ancillary offering. Pilot success means batch stability and process parameters now have a foundation for scale-up, but the announcement did not disclose specific grades, particle size ranges, or oxygen content metrics, and the timeline for mass production remains to be verified. For the metal additive manufacturing supply chain, the addition of a new supplier with plasma atomization and particle size reconstruction capabilities for titanium alloy powder helps alleviate a supply landscape long dominated by a small number of companies in the high-end titanium powder segment. The dual positioning across 3D printing and MIM also means the product can cover powder demand for both additive manufacturing and injection molding processes, offering downstream users more diverse options. Value for powder buyers: ① Add Harson Weite to the list of alternative titanium alloy powder suppliers, with particular attention to batch consistency data for its NPA+TPR process route; ② Request samples for both 3D printing and MIM applications simultaneously to verify whether particle size distribution and flowability match existing molding equipment; ③ Track progress from pilot testing to mass production and use it as a reference option for price comparison and negotiation in titanium alloy powder procurement.
