Skyline has a mature production line with first-class technology and service. The testing platform can cover metal, ceramic, and polymer powder materials for pilot-scale R&D equipment, including:

Services have been launched and are now in operation with remarkable results. By employing physical methods such as plasma processing, atomization, and physical vapor deposition, the platform is capable of producing powder materials with specific particle sizes, morphologies, and properties. Based on customer requirements, the platform can select and customize synthesis equipment and processes for different materials, and optimize parameters for pilot-scale trials. For amorphous and nanocrystalline materials, the platform utilizes techniques such as atomization, rapid solidification, and high-temperature processing to achieve amorphization and nanocrystallization across a variety of alloy systems. By controlling cooling rates and energy input, the grain size and amorphous content of materials can be regulated, thereby enhancing their mechanical, magnetic, and electrical properties. The platform also possesses advanced surface modification capabilities. Through plasma and high-temperature technologies, functional modifications can be applied to powder materials. For example, plasma spheroidization increases material density and improves thermal conductivity. Through repeated experiments and adjustments, the platform has developed standardized preparation procedures and a dedicated professional team for different material systems. The specific workflow includes raw material selection, process parameter setting, equipment operating condition optimization, and post-treatment processes. Small-batch production of various micro- and nano-powder materials as well as amorphous and nanocrystalline materials has been achieved, and the stability and repeatability of the equipment and production processes have been verified in practical applications. The platform has provided pilot-scale services to multiple research institutions and enterprises, offering customers equipment selection or new development for advanced material production, as well as exploration and validation of material production processes. These clients include Huawei, Wanhua Chemical, Central South University, and others. Based on the platform's pilot trials and modification process optimization, customers have successfully developed multiple material production technologies or are preparing for industrialization.

2 Powder Spheroidization Densification Modification Equipment and Technology

Hot Jet Spheroidization Technology and Microwave Plasma Spheroidization Technology

2.1Low-Temperature Powder Spheroidization (Melting Point < 800 ℃)

2.1.1 Thermal jet spheroidization technology. This is a powder spheroidization/densification equipment, whose main structure includes a powder feeding gun, a thermal jet spheroidization generator, a spheroidization tower, a collection device, and a centralized control system, etc. The equipment adjusts the melting position of powder inside the spheroidization tower by controlling the cold gas flow rate in the cold gas pipe, which reduces the formation of large spherical powder particles during powder melting. Meanwhile, combined with cyclone hot gas and a dispersing rod, it further improves the mixing uniformity of powder and hot gas, the dispersion effect, and the heating uniformity. The prepared spherical powder particles have uniform particle size and stable product quality.

Scope of application: Oxide ceramic powder materials.

Advantages: High production capacity and low production cost.
