Start with the feed material
Review the feed source and composition before processing. The use of recycled resources makes material identification and traceability important to the supply discussion.
Evaluate a material using its batch identity, measured properties and the requirements of the manufacturing process. Our quality approach connects incoming titanium resources, powder characterization and component-level evaluation.
Three levels of material evaluation
Characterize what is supplied
Review chemical composition, particle distribution and the relevant flow, density and morphology data. Connect results to the material batch.
Verify after processing
KYHE uses MIM specimens for batch-related mechanical evaluation. Additional application tests should follow an agreed plan.
Define the data before comparing it
| Data | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Chemical composition | Elements measured, mass-percent units, test method and acceptance limits; identify the measured batch. |
| Particle-size distribution | D10, D50 and D90, nominal specification and measurement method. |
| Flow and powder density | Flow-test conditions; distinguish apparent density from tap density and finished-part density. |
| Morphology | Identify the imaging and measurement method. Circularity and three-dimensional sphericity are not interchangeable labels. |
| Mechanical properties | Specimen geometry, manufacturing route, heat treatment or HIP if used, test method and number of specimens. |
| Batch acceptance | Separate typical reference values from a measured result and a contractual acceptance limit. |
Documents to discuss for your order
- The agreed material specification and its revision.
- Batch or lot identification and the relevant test results.
- Sample or specimen reports where included in the evaluation scope.
- Applicable recycled-content and certification documents.
- Any additional tests required by the end application.
Tell us which reports your organization needs. Availability, test scope and any additional validation work should be confirmed before procurement.
