Greetings,
I am looking for information about the gas atomization process to produce metal powders.
I would like to know the efficiency of the process: e.g. what is the weight of inconel used to produce 1 kg of inconel powder?
Also, I would like to know the energy consumed (power plasma torches seem to be around 100-500 kW) to produce 1 kg of metal powder (I suppose it varies between metal because of the different melting temperatures)
Finally, I would like to know the gas consumption during the process (m³ or kg of gas needed to procude 1 kg of powder).
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
Thomas
