Particle Size Distribution in Hot Gas Atomization of Stainless Steel Melts
The gas atomization process for metal powder production is strongly influenced by the thermodynamic and fluid-dynamic conditions of the atomizing gas. In this study, stainless steel (316L) powders produced using a close-coupled gas atomizer (CCA) with heated nitrogen and argon were investigated. A systematic experiment...
