Michael A. Smirnov, Mikhail Alexandrovich Kaplan, Mikhail A. Sevostyanov

Abstract

In this study, the inert gas atomization method to obtain finely divided metal powder was studied. Two different configurations of inert gas atomizers were compared to identify the most appropriate one to obtain high spherical AM powder. Some problems of free-fall atomizer were discussed.
