Knust-Godwin has selected Continuum Powders as its exclusive metal powders provider for a project supporting a large oil and gas customer.
The customer needs to recycle nickel alloy parts, with a ‘large amount of Ni718-grade internal products’ reaching end-of-life. Knust-Godwin is working to provide additively manufactured parts to this customer with material supplied by Continuum Powders.
Continuum Powders was suggested by another Knust-Godwin customer, with multiple mechanical test coupons demonstrating that Continuum products met or exceeded other non-sustainable powder suppliers. The metal powder manufacturer recycled end-of-life bulk parts with its proprietary, single-step Greyhound M2P platform, before providing Knust-Godwin with a new Ni718 through its Continuum Powder as a Service offering. Knust-Godwin then manufactured new parts for its customer using a Renishaw RenAM500Q 3D printer.
