Sandvik Achieves Prestigious Aerospace Certification

Sandviken, Sweden - Sandvik’s new powder plant for titanium and nickel-based superalloys has recently received the prestigious ‘AS9100 Revision D’ certification for deliveries to the aerospace industry. Its powder plant for Osprey titanium and nickel-based superalloys was inaugurated at the end of 2019 in Sandviken, Sweden.

Since then an extensive work has been ongoing to ramp up the highly automated plant, fine-tuning all processes and qualifying the powder to ensure the best possible consistency, morphology, and quality suitable for additive manufacturing.

Due to these events, the ‘AS9100 Revision D’ certification for aerospace was recently received, at the end of April this year. The first two titanium powders produced at the plant are Osprey Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 and Osprey Ti-6Al-4V Grade 23. The nickel-based superalloys are Osprey^® Alloy 625 and Osprey Alloy 718.

“Now we are one of the few companies that has the new and prestigious ‘AS9100D’ quality certification for our Osprey titanium powder and nickel-based superalloys used for additive manufacturing. It is a true milestone, which will facilitate many customer collaborations going forward. Imagine what 158 years of leading materials expertise can do for your additive process,” said Keith Murray, Vice President, Global Sales, Sandvik Additive Manufacturing.
