Engineered Metal Powders for Critical Defense Needs
The founder of Micron Metals played a role in writing many of the still-cited MIL-SPECs and set standards used by the military to determine material quality and suitability more than five decades ago. Today, some of these standards still reference our products specifically, and we have been an industry leader in helping clients access MIL-SPEC metal powders and compounds ever since. Modern military suppliers rely on Micron Metals, an ISO 9001-certified supplier, for metal powders and compounds engineered to MIL-SPEC standards. From chemistry to particle size and density, our materials meet stringent specifications for military applications, ensuring reliability and performance even under the most demanding conditions.
