Plasma Spheroidization Powder Manufacturing Equipment
The plasma,as a technology under ultimate conditions,is an advanced and new technology in the application for disposition and synthesis and preparation of powdered material,and currently prevails among studies in many countries.
Its working principles refer to several steps.First,inject solid particles into inert gas plasma and completely evaporate them under the high temperature of the plasma,existing as steam.And then cool them fast with gas quenching cooling technology,and finally allow saturated steam to be rapidly condensed,nucleated,grew and formed into superfine powder.
