Plasma Spheroidisation for Improved Metal Powder Flow and Packing Properties

07 To achieve optimum flow characteristics and high packing density, an ideal Additive Manufacturing metal powder should be highly spherical in shape with no satellites. As spherical particles have minimum surface area to volume ratio this brings an added advantage in principle, of reduced surface contamination e.g. oxygen pick up. Increased particle sphericity can improve powder feeding, resulting in smoother layers, improved packin
