Atomizing facilities
By Arcast. Its capacity ranges from 30 to 250 kg.
This unit has the capacity to melt in vacuum (10E-2 mbar) or controlled (low oxygen) atmospheres. It uses argon and nitrogen gases in the atomization process and has a system that can heat the atomizing gas up to 500 ºC.
It is The HERMIGA 75/3 from PSI, with a 3 kg capacity.
This is a dual atomization unit that is capable of high pressure water (up to 1000 bar) or gas atomization and of melting in vacuum (10E-2 mbar) or controlled (low oxygen) atmospheres.
The unit’s maximum operating temperature is 1750º C (using refractory crucibles) and it can atomize using argon, nitrogen or helium. This atomization unit is suitable for producing small quantities for researching and developing new materials and for developing new atomization systems.
