Atomization is the dominant method for producing metal and pre alloyed powders from iron, copper, aluminum, brass, iron, low-alloy steels, stainless steels, tool steels, superalloys, titanium alloys, and other alloys. The general types of atomization processes encompass a number of industrial and research methods. It also reviews the effect of atomization methods and process variables on key powder characteristics such as the average particle size, particle size distribution or screen analysis, particle shape, chemical composition, and microstructure.
Before and after COVID 19, there was the different market scenario and the requirements for the various industries worldwide. However, the market got changed for various Atomized Metal Powders and started the gap between supply and demand.
What is the Atomization process? Why IMP has chosen to manufacture atomized metal powders?
Atomization, also referred to as the process of spraying, a method in which molten metals are broken down into tiny drops of liquid by high-speed fluids (gas as air or inert gas; liquid as water) or centrifugal force fluids and afterward solidified into powder.
IMP is going to produce the below metal powders
● Atomized iron powder especially for Diamond Cutting Tools and oxygen absorbers.
● Iron-based pre-alloyed: target to produce the alloy powders with Iron as major elements and alloying with Cu, Ni, Sn, Zn, etc. with standard and customized compositions for diamond cutting tools. This is to give a major boost to the diamond cutting tools industry in India.
● Atomized copper powders: This is too for especially for diamond cutting tools, PM industries, to give the stable source of copper with different particle sizes.
● Atomized bronze powders: Indian industry vastly depends on the limited suppliers for this product and on imports which always makes this product more sensitive to availability and higher in price all the time. IMP wants to bring stability into this supply and make the product easily available with economically available considering the quality as 1st priority.
● Atomized tin powders: IMP is also a specialist provider of tin powders that satisfy basic technical specifications such as apparent mass, specific surface area, and purity in a number of particle sizes.
Conclusion:
Limited sources and large dependency of import makes the market towards down due to the uncertainty of the materials. There are lots of atomized metal powders available but consistency is a key factor to get. Being the largest and established brand in the iron, IMP has the ability, capacity and technical expertise to produce the atomized metal powders with an extremely quality controlled system and totally flexible business policies to get the materials on time with quality, consistency, capacity, good prices, etc. The plant is expected to start by mid of March 2021 as machineries and infrastructure is ready. The lab is already with world-class equipment’s to test all the physio-chemical parameters.
