Valimet Inc., a German-owned company based in Stockton, USA, has announced that its aluminum and aluminum alloy powder production has achieved AS9100 aerospace quality management system certification. Building on its existing ISO 9001 certification, the company has now met the additional aviation, aerospace, and defense requirements, with the certification process led by Quality Manager Simi Dhaliwal Hundal. The product portfolio covers grades including AlSi10Mg, AA6061/7075/2024, F357, and A205, offered as inert gas-atomized spherical powders in the -53 to +15 μm range, targeting markets in additive manufacturing, energetic materials, and thermal interface materials. With AS9100 certification, Valimet becomes one of the few aluminum powder producers in North America to hold both ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications, enabling the company to provide batch consistency documentation support for aerospace AM customers and lowering the barrier to downstream component qualification. Value for powder buyers: ① Aerospace-grade aluminum powder certification is becoming a supplier entry requirement—domestic Chinese aluminum powder exporters should evaluate AS9100/NADCAP qualification strategies. ② International aerospace AM projects are imposing increasingly stringent batch traceability and documentation requirements, and certification capabilities directly impact quote competitiveness. ③ Demand for aerospace grades such as AlSi10Mg and F357 is growing, making it worthwhile to monitor capacity and lead-time changes.
