Title: A Study on Novel Gas Atomization Device for Preparing Ultra Fine Metal Powder
Abstract: On the basis of technologies of gas atomization, supersonic gas atomization, surface effect of electric charge and jet, we design a new-style device of two fluids atomization with the combination of solid atomization and electric field utilizing a LAVAL nozzle, a delivery tube of sectional type and the electrical field dispersion technique. The soldering tin of 63 A was atomized with the air, and the powder prepared was analyzed by optical granularity analyzer, nanometer magnetic particles and Zeta potential analyzer. The results show that the particle size with less than 8μm can reach 75%; the average particle size is 1.7612μm, and the first peak in the distribution curve is about 500 nm, which is an order of magnitude smaller than that the existing reported peak. The compound atomization device can refine the particle size of powers effectively, improve uniformity, yielding rate, and the purity of atomized powders and has a significant effect on atomizing, thus provides powerful supports for preparing ultra fine metal powders with high efficiency and low energy consumption and has a good prospect in application.
