Abstract
Spheroidisation of iron powder in a microwave plasma reactor
Highlights
Plasma-assisted spheroidisation of metal powders offers several technical advantages with respect to both the ease of materials handling and powder-metallurgical item manufacturing
Spherical iron particles were produced using a microwave plasma operating at atmospheric pressure and characterized using optical microscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques
Thermal plasma processing has the potential for scale-up and for producing industrial quantities of spheroidised powder
Summary
Plasma-assisted spheroidisation of metal powders offers several technical advantages with respect to both the ease of materials handling and powder-metallurgical item manufacturing. Spherical iron particles were produced using a microwave plasma operating at atmospheric pressure and characterized using optical microscopy and SEM techniques.
