Gas Atomization at Ames Laboratory

At the Ames Laboratory in Iowa, a process called gas atomization is creating powders that are smoother and better-performing than other metal manufacturing powders. The tiny powder grains, while identical to those of traditionally manufactured powders, are smoother and more spherical than the rough, randomly sized particles that make up most metal powders. As a result, the particles produced through gas atomization flow smoothly without requiring any additional pulsing or agitation during the manufacturing process, saving energy and cost in the long run.
