Ultrasonic Atomization
Ultrasonic atomization is a powder production technique that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to break up a stream of molten metal into fine, spherical droplets. Once cooled, these droplets solidify into uniform metal powders with excellent flowability, making them ideal for additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, and R&D applications.
Metal feedstock (wire, rod, or scrap) is melted using a controlled heat source such as an induction or TIG system.
The molten metal flows onto an ultrasonic vibrating surface (sonotrode).
High-frequency vibrations disrupt the liquid stream, atomizing it into a mist of fine droplets.
The droplets rapidly cool and solidify in an inert gas atmosphere, forming spherical metal powders.
The resulting powders are collected, sieved if necessary, and used directly for processes such as 3D printing, hot isostatic pressing, or alloy development.
