Equipment Overview

The high-pressure water atomization system is designed for industrial-scale metal powder production. The complete system integrates a melting furnace, heated tundish, high-pressure water atomizer, high-pressure water pump and supply system, atomization tower, powder-water separation system, and electrical control system.

Molten metal is produced under a protective atmosphere and transferred from the melting furnace into the heated tundish. It then flows through a flow-control tube into the atomizer, where high-pressure water jets break the molten metal into fine droplets. Rapid cooling solidifies the droplets into spherical, near-spherical, or irregular powder particles. The powder is collected in the atomization tower and subsequently processed through dewatering and drying, followed by deoxidation where required.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Low Oxygen Content

Inert gas protection during melting and atomization helps minimize oxidation, supporting the production of metal powders with low oxygen content.

2. Stable Process Control

Online monitoring of atomization parameters enables stable control of key process conditions, helping maintain consistent powder quality.

3. Integrated Control System

The equipment uses a distributed control system with video monitoring of critical components and a user-friendly human-machine interface, simplifying operation and process monitoring.

4. Flexible Powder Characteristics

The system can produce spherical or irregular powders, including powders with an average particle size of less than 10 μm, as well as amorphous powders.

Multiple atomizer configurations are available. Particle size, morphology, and particle size distribution can be adjusted by modifying the atomization process and operating parameters to meet different material and application requirements.

5. Crucible Safety Monitoring

An optional monitoring system detects potential damage to the melting crucible, helping improve operational safety.

6. High-Capacity Atomization

The system supports a steel melt flow rate of up to 330 kg/min.

7. Online Particle Size Measurement

An optional online particle size measurement and feedback control system enables real-time monitoring and process adjustment to support precise control of powder quality.
