Atomization Towers in Metal & Alloy Melting Applications

Vacuum Gas Atomization Powder Production System

Working Principle

1. Vacuum Melting: Metals/alloys are melted under vacuum or inert gas protection to prevent oxidation.
2. Liquid Metal Flow: Molten metal exits a heated crucible through a 导流嘴 (flow guide nozzle).
3. High-Pressure Atomization: Supersonic gas jets (e.g., nitrogen, argon) from nozzles break the liquid stream into fine droplets.
4. Solidification: Droplets cool and solidify into spherical/sub-spherical particles during free fall.
5. Classification: Particles are sorted by size using cyclone separators for precise grading.

Production Capabilities

• Capacity Range: 5–1000 kg per batch, suitable for both R&D and mass production.
• Material Scope:
  ▪ Ferrous alloys (iron-based, stainless steel)
  ▪ Non-ferrous alloys (cobalt-based, nickel-based, aluminum-based, copper-based)
• Customization: Equipment design tailored to client specifications, including CAD-based manufacturing.

Key Technical Features

Application Scenarios

• Additive Manufacturing: 3D printing powders for aerospace, medical implants.
• Powder Metallurgy: High-performance parts with complex geometries.
• Electronics: Conductive pastes, sintered components.
• Thermal Spray Coatings: Wear-resistant coatings for industrial equipment.

System Benefits

1. Microstructural Excellence: Uniform grain size and minimal defects compared to traditional casting.
2. Material Versatility: Suitable for high-melting-point alloys like titanium and nickel superalloys.
3. Environmental Friendliness: Closed-loop system reduces oxidation and 粉尘 (dust) pollution.
4. Scalability: Configurable for small batches (5 kg) up to large-scale production (1000 kg).
