Specify the metal, production route and particle profile. [Browse 10 materials]() [Ask about supply]() [Image: Powder material specimens; appearance reference]() ## Choose a material ### Copper, aluminum, zinc and tin Start with the element, then the shape required by the formulation or powder process: spherical, irregular, dendritic or flake. Add the relevant oxygen and impurity limits. #### Copper powder Copper powder (Cu) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Cu #### Aluminum powder Aluminum powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al #### Zinc powder Zinc powder (Zn) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Zn #### Tin powder Tin powder (Sn) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Sn ### Nickel and cobalt Keep elemental metal separate from an oxide, alloy or supported catalyst. Compare particle profile and supplied surface condition for the intended use. #### Nickel powder Nickel powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Ni #### Cobalt powder Cobalt powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Co ### Other non-ferrous metals Bi, Mn, Cr and Mg are separate elemental requirements. Use the process, quantity and destination to establish the particle, packaging and document brief. #### Bismuth powder Bismuth powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Bi #### Manganese powder Manganese powder (Mn) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Mn #### Chromium powder Chromium powder (Cr) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Cr #### Magnesium powder Magnesium powder (Mg) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Mg ## Material selection guide Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet. **Element & purity** Separate elemental metal from its alloy and oxide. State the assay basis and critical metallic/non-metallic impurity limits. **Morphology & route** Describe spherical, irregular, dendritic or flake requirements and any required atomization or reduction route. **Process & handling** Connect particle size, surface condition, flow and packaging to the intended process. Use the selected grade's SDS for handling and shipment review. ## Before you choose **Is elemental copper powder interchangeable with bronze powder?** No. A copper-base alloy has a different composition and grade-selection task. Keep the elemental-metal and alloy specifications separate. **What does this directory cover?** Copper, aluminum and other alloy systems have dedicated directories. An element listing does not establish every particle size or shipping option. ## What to include in your request A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know. - Element and purity/impurity basis - Particle distribution and morphology - Production route and surface/oxygen limits - Intended process, packaging and destination ### Quantity, samples and documents Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums. We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements. [How we coordinate documents]() [Samples and testing]() [Send a material request]() ## Applications to explore.
