What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 1B002 controls equipment designed to produce metal alloy powder or particulate materials with the controlled characteristics described in the entry — for example certain atomization or rapid-solidification systems. The equipment that makes controlled superalloy and specialty powders is itself controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.

Who needs to check this?

Makers and exporters of metal-powder production equipment — gas/plasma atomizers and rapid-solidification systems — for aerospace and additive-manufacturing feedstock.

Compliance tip

Control follows the powder characteristics the equipment is designed to produce — tie it back to the relevant materials entries (e.g., 1C002). Confirm the NS and AT Country Chart columns and the entry's License Exception paragraph.
