Virtually any metal can be made into a powder through processes including atomization, electrolysis, chemical reduction, and size comminution (pulverization). The choice of production method is determined by cost analysis, raw material supply, and the particle size and shape distributions most beneficial to performance. The metal powder can then be used to fabricate parts from simple single level shapes to compl
