ULTRASONIC ATOMIZATION TECHNOLOGY
ULTRASONIC ATOMIZATION TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
- Source metal wire or rod melts inside the electric plasma arc in the oxygen-free chamber
- Proprietary ultrasonic engine creates vibrations to induce liquid metal atomization
- Solidified particles are carried with the shielding gas to the storage container
- Process waste and fumes are filtered and separated from the powder along the way
HIGHEST POWDER QUALITY AND UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY.
ATO Lab Plus brings years of new material development down to weeks.
