Hybrid Atomization Method for Manufacturing Fine Spherical Metal Powder

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hybrid atomization is a new atomization technique that combines gas atomization with centrifugal atomization. This process can produce fine, spherical powders economically with a mean size of about 10 μm diameter and a tight size distribution. Experiments on the process were carried out using a Sn-9 mass% Zn alloy to investigate the influence of processing parameters on powder characteristics in hybrid atomization. The primary atomization mechanism under normal hybrid atomization conditions is predicted to be direct drop formation mode.
