Q: What metals can be used in ultrasonic atomization?
A: Metals from aluminum to molybdenum, including precious metals and reactive alloys.
Q: What is the minimum powder quantity?
A: No minimum requirement, even small batches are possible.
Q: How quickly can I switch materials?
A: Swapping materials is fast and hassle-free, keeping downtime to a minimum—typically just 1 to 2 hours when using ATO Clean.
Q: How does the ATO atomizer compare to traditional atomization methods?
A: ATO atomizers provide higher powder quality, narrow particle size distribution, low oxygen content, compact footprint, and versatile material options.
Q: What industries benefit from ultrasonic atomization?
A: Aerospace, University, R&D labs, metalurgist, automotive, medical, dental, jewelry.
Q: How is maintenance handled?
A: Minimal downtime, easy cleaning, expert support, and replacement parts available in the USA.
Q: What particle size distribution can I expect?
A: Typically 20–120 µm with narrow distribution and high sphericity. The particle size distribution depends on the frequency of work; the higher the frequency, the smaller the particle size.
