Abstract:
Access to a wide range of alloy powders is necessary for the development of new materials for additive manufacturing. This is due to the lengthy and expensive validation process, as well as the high cost of powder production. Another important aspect is the method of producing powders, such as gas, plasma, centrifugal, or water atomization technologies that are used. Despite the biggest advantages of these processes, such as high production yield, some disadvantages of these processes are the high investment cost, the small number of materials that can be processed, the wide powder size distribution, or the minimal amount of material input for atomization. This paper shows a novel approach of ultrasonic atomization to manufacture small quantities of metallic powders for research scale, including Al 5754 and FINEMET alloys.
