Crucible Research has four gas atomizers to handle a multitude of material systems in various quantities. The atomizers are used for production, research, and alloy development.
Atomized powders include titanium and titanium aluminides, nickel base superalloys, copper alloys, and cobalt base superalloys. The resulting spherical powder is ultra-pure, ultra-clean, and free flowing.
Our atomization equipment includes:
- Titanium Gas Atomizer
- 100 pound furnace capacity
- Refractory-free melting and pouring
- Cold wall induction melting system
- Bottom pour melting crucible
- Argon or vacuum melting
- Argon atomization
- Instrumented melting and atomization
- Video documentation of each heat
- Rapidly solidified powder
- Powder is processed in a dedicated titanium clean room
