We are pleased to introduce Osprey® GRCop-42 – a copper alloy powder developed for additive manufacturing of components operating under extreme thermal and mechanical loads.
Originally designed by NASA, GRCop-42 is one of the most demanding copper alloys to produce to specification, requiring tight control of composition and impurity levels.
At Sandvik, we have established controlled and repeatable production through our Vacuum Inert Gas Atomization (VIGA) process. Produced within an AS9100-certified quality system, Osprey® GRCop-42 is supported by full cradle-to-gate traceability – covering every step from raw materials to final batch testing.
The result is predictable performance and audit-ready documentation, supporting qualification and production in critical, high-performance applications.
Osprey® GRCop-42 is now available for both qualification and serial production.
