The feedstock is heated in a furnace and the melt is turned into a nickel-based powder by atomising the melt stream to produce fine, spherical or granular powder suitable for metal injection molding and other powder metallurgy work.
The molten metal passes through the center portion of a pressure nozzle of a tundish through which a gas or liquid flows to divide the molten metal into droplets on exit from the nozzle. The melt stream may be sub-divided further by firing a jet of gas (in an inverted cone shape) from a ring nozzle (e.g. as slits around the lower edge of the exit from the pressure nozzle) into the stream to give a more finely divided powder with a narrower particle size range. - Process category (PROC):
