We are interested to prepare a setup for powder metallurgy studies. I'm trying to find a lab-scale machine or technology to produce good quality spherical metal powders of active metals like magnesium similar to what can be found in gas atomizers.
Any recommendation?
I've come across a new atomization technology by ATO lab and it should be for lab scale use but I haven't seen a published work yet using it? anyone had experience with it?
Thank you!
yes I have an ATO+ atomizer.
To have more information contact me by email.
Hello,
I have successfully finished all jobs on ours SLM 125HL AM system using 316L from ATO atomizer. After some process parameters improvements, we received very good results (99.7% density) with max. pores diameter equal to 0.05mm so it looks very promising so far.
Example of powder characterisation, where the powder was made on the ATO system can be found in the report:
