Development of a Novel Dry Centrifugal Atomising Solution

雾化系统有限公司(ASL)建议开展一个项目，开发一种新型的金属雾化解决方案，如果成功开发，将对全球粉末冶金市场(如汽车、航空航天、制药等行业供应的青铜粉、热喷粉等)产生重大影响。建议的技术解决方案将使金属粉末的生产成本降低约为气体雾化相关成本的25%(无需气体回收)，并且由于该解决方案的能效更高，因此与气雾化相比，它产生的二氧化碳将减少75%。因此，该项目代表了一种改变部分粉末冶金市场游戏规则的技术。预计所生产的粉末不仅对现有应用具有吸引力，而且由于大宗商品价格大幅降低，金属粉末的使用可能在以前经济/商业上不可行的应用中变得可行-从而创造新的市场。ASL是世界著名的金属粉末生产技术专家。它在熔体雾化专业领域具有显著而独特的内部能力。该项目将建立在这一新型解决方案较不先进版本的先前小规模经验的基础上，并将开发一个原型来优化并允许该解决方案的规模扩大，以实现ASL的未来复制能力。

Atomising Systems Limited (ASL) proposes to undertake a project to develop a novel metalatomising solution that, if successfully developed, will have a significant impact on the globalPowder Metallurgy market (for example Bronze Powder, Thermal Spray Powder etc. suppliedinto sectors such as automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical).The technical solution proposed will enable the production of metal powders at an estimated25% of the cost associated with gas atomisation (without gas recycle) and, as a result of thesolution being far more energy efficient, it will produce 75% less CO2 compared to gasatomisation. This project therefore represents a game changing technology for parts of thePowder Metallurgy market.It is anticipated that the powders produced will not only be attractive for existing applicationsbut, due to greatly reduced commodity prices, the use of metal powders could become viablein applications where previously it was not economically/commercially viable – therebycreating new markets.ASL is a world renowned expert in metal powder production technology. It has a significantand unique internal capability in the specialist field of melt atomisation. The project will buildon previous small scale experience of a less advanced version of this novel solution and willdevelop a prototype to optimise and allow the scale up of this solution to enable futureproduction capacity for ASL.
