Abstract
Gas-driven atomization is the major approach for production of metal powders. This method gives up to 70 % of the entire metal powder production. However, modern trends demonstrate new requirements to the particle size distribution. This drives the development of novel methods for power production. Here we present the plasma-jet atomization method.
