Gas Metal Atomization

Gas metal atomization is an advanced metallurgy technique that produces fine, uniform metal powders essential for various manufacturing processes. In this method, molten metal is injected into a high-pressure inert gas stream, such as argon or nitrogen, which prevents oxidation and facilitates optimal atomization. The molten metal forms small droplets that rapidly solidify into spherical particles, ensuring consistent size and shape. These high-quality powders are widely used in additive manufacturing for intricate components, metal injection molding for complex geometries and surface coating to enhance material properties..
