Continuum Powders (Houston) disclosed operational milestones: since Q1 2026, OptiPowder Ni718 productivity has increased by 140% and saleable yield has risen by 10 percentage points; Ti-6Al-4V Grade 23 saleable yield has increased approximately 2.5x over the past 6 months. The Houston facility has been expanded by more than 7,000 square feet, and a third Greyhound Gen III atomizer is expected to be commissioned in Q1 2027. This represents a substantial improvement in the supply efficiency of North American domestically produced nickel-based and titanium-based powders. Higher production consistency (saleable yield) means that U.S.-made high-end powders are becoming more price-competitive; localization-driven procurement by defense and aerospace customers is pushing North American powder producers into a capacity expansion cycle. Value for powder buyers: (1) Domestic buyers should factor this cost-decline trend into import price comparisons for nickel-based and titanium alloy powders; (2) the "saleable yield" metric signals that buyers should pay attention to suppliers' finished-product yield and quality control systems, and can use it as a dimension for price comparison and supplier evaluation; (3) watch for new alloy grades and changes in supply capability resulting from the commissioning of the Gen III atomizer.
