Plasma spheroidisation of Inconel 718

Plasma spheroidisation of Inconel 718

In this study, size fractions of 45-63 µm and 63-75 µm, irregular shaped Inconel 718 powders were spheroidised utilising the Tekna plasma system. The effect of plasma power and powder feed rate on the percentage spheroidisation of Inconel powder particles were investigated. The results proved that t...

Zusammenfassung:In this study, size fractions of 45-63 µm and 63-75 µm, irregular shaped Inconel 718 powders were spheroidised utilising the Tekna plasma system. The effect of plasma power and powder feed rate on the percentage spheroidisation of Inconel powder particles were investigated. The results proved that the Tekna plasma system can effectively spheroidise irregular shaped Inconel 718 powder particles. The flowability of the spheroidised Inconel 718 powder was significantly improved.
