Tangshan Weihao Participates in Drafting the National Standard for Additive Manufacturing Zinc and Zinc Alloy Powders
Supporting the Standardization of Additive Manufacturing Materials
The national standard “Zinc and Zinc Alloy Powders for Additive Manufacturing” (GB/T 47094-2026) has recently been officially released and will come into full effect in August 2026. The standard is administered by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Nonferrous Metals (TC243) and implemented by its Powder Metallurgy Subcommittee (TC243SC4), under the supervision of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association.
As one of the principal drafting organizations, Tangshan Weihao Magnesium Powder Co., Ltd. participated extensively in the research, technical validation, drafting, and revision processes of the standard. Leveraging years of expertise in atomized spherical metal powder development and industrial-scale production, the company contributed substantial industrial data and technical insights regarding particle size distribution, chemical composition stability, flowability, and batch consistency.

Significance of the Standard for the Industry
With the rapid advancement of additive manufacturing, the consistency and reliability of metal powders have become fundamental to ensuring product performance and industrial scalability. The release of this national standard establishes unified technical requirements and testing methods for zinc and zinc alloy powders used in additive manufacturing, promoting higher industry standards and coordinated development across the supply chain.
Tangshan Weihao’s participation reflects its commitment to advancing standardized, high-quality development within the metal powder sector and reinforces its position as a responsible and innovation-driven enterprise in the additive manufacturing materials industry.
