Study of New Atomization Mechanism for Manufacturing Metal Powder

Abstract:

The paper introduces a new atomization mechanism combining the centrifugal, the oscillating and the impact breakage atomization as a trinity, breaking through the traditional single atomization model. The atomization mechanism here makes full use of the comprehensive effects of the centrifugal atomization, the oscillating atomization and the impact breakage atomization, synthesizing the superiorities of the three as an organic and powerfully efficient whole, and making their mutual reactions stronger step by step. The impact breakage atomization is a new auxiliary mechanism among the three, which can improve the atomizing process of droplets considerably after the centrifugal and the oscillating atomization, producing much better an atomizing result. It is very convenient, simple and direct to fulfill the three-in-one. This atomization mechanism can achieve the goal of even atomization and much tinier droplets and be energy-efficient with low cost as well. Therefore it is a highly practical and useful method.
