Valimet

Valimet began producing spherical aluminum powders on its present 18-acre site in Stockton, California in the 1960s. The site was chosen by the predecessor company, Valley Metallurgical Processing Company, to service its multiple aerospace customers situated on the West Coast. Originally designed for use as fuel in solid propellants, thermal spray and other coating applications, these powders are now also used in additive manufacturing, cold spray, HVOF, brazing, decoy flares, ordnance, electronic and thermal management materials and more are being added all the time. Through the infusion of technology, Valimet constantly reinvents itself to supply powders for new applications as they are developed. All of Valimet’s spherical powders are produced by inert gas atomization, lending excellent flow properties. Our products are certified to meet hundreds of military, commercial and custom specifications. We pride ourselves in maintaining excellent quality control standards, and Valimet is renowned for lot-to-lot consistency in all of its metal powder products. Valimet’s Quality Management System is ISO 9001:2015 certified and we are a Pratt and Whitney LCS approved source.
