Powder2Powder Atomization System: A Game-Changer for Metal Powders
The Powder2Powder system, unveiled at Formnext 2024, offers a versatile solution for recycling metal powders and producing custom pre-alloy powders. This innovation is a significant step forward in sustainable metal powder production for the 3D printing industry. The system integrates plasma processing with ultrasonic atomization, transforming irregular or oversized particles into highly spherical, satellite-free powders optimized for various 3D printing techniques.
How the Powder2Powder System Works
The Powder2Powder system operates at a frequency of 40 kHz, consistently achieving a powder morphology with an aspect ratio (D50) exceeding 0.95 and a precise particle size distribution (PSD). This results in powders with D90 below 80 μm and yielding particles under 63 μm at or above 80%. Approximately 97% of the resulting powder meets the stringent requirements for additive manufacturing processes.
