Fine nickel powders are sorted by air
Air-classification is a powerful technology that enables particulate materials to be separated into fractions smaller than those that can be achieved by simple screening.
Novamet Specialty Products Corp has gained extensive experience over the past 20 years in manufacturing air-classified nickel powders Air-classification is a powerful technology that enables particulate materials to be separated into fractions smaller than those that can be achieved by simple screening

Conductive nickel spheres add a new dimension
The Novamet range of conductive nickel spheres is now available in five different sizes grades.
Nickel flakes make conductive coatings
New grades of nickel flake are ideally suited for application techniques such as screen-printing where there is a limit to the size of flake particle than can be tolerated.
In addition, much tighter control can be exercised over size distribution profiles using this technique.
Fine nickel powders have been finding an increased range of uses in many high technology applications where close control of particle size is essential to the performance of the final product.
Typical applications are: metal injection moulding; and controlled z-plane electrical conductivity in electronics industry uses.
Novamet produces two standard types of spherical air-classified powder - Nickel Type 4SP and Conductive Nickel Spheres (CNS).
Both types are available in the following size ranges: -20um, -20+10um and -10um.
Novamet has progressively refined and modified their air-classification procedures to provide materials of very high quality, reliability and consistency.
These refinements enable nonstandard products to be manufactured to individual customer requirements.
The high quality and dependability of these products allows designers and engineers to reach increased performance requirements vital in many new and demanding markets.
Hart Coating Technology, the UK based supplier of raw materials for high technology applications is the official distributor of the full range of Novamet products, including air-classified nickel spheres.
