Problems solved by technology

Plasma method RF plasma gun fire high-energy plasma gun as a heat source, the required equipment is complex, the raw material requirements are high, the cost is high, and it is difficult to meet the production requirements of mass production of 3D printing metal powder
Due to the fast cooling speed of the water atomization method, there are disadvantages that the shape of the micropowder is irregular, the sphericity is not good, and the oxygen content in the product is too high.
Although the sphericity of the product produced by the inert gas atomization method is greatly improved, and the yield of fine powder is high, satellite droplets are prone to appear on the surface of the product micropowder, r
