PowderSight Price Index ™
Real-time metal powder pricing from verified Chinese manufacturers. Updated daily. All prices are EXW (Ex-Works) factory prices.
The PowderSight Price Index tracks live EXW (ex-works) prices for gas-atomized metal powders from verified Chinese manufacturers, updated daily. It covers the grades industrial buyers actually order: stainless steels such as 316L and 17-4PH, titanium alloys including Ti-6Al-4V, aluminum alloys like AlSi10Mg, nickel superalloys such as Inconel 718, plus tool steels and cobalt-chrome. Because Chinese producers set the global floor for AM powder pricing, the index is a practical benchmark for procurement teams comparing quotes across regions. All USD figures are converted from supplier-declared CNY at the daily exchange rate; contact suppliers directly for landed pricing including freight, customs and packaging.
