Investigation of CoCr micropowder obtaining process in gas discharge with liquid electrodes

Plasma technologies have a wide range of applications: from agriculture and the food industry to energy industry. Such widespread use is due to the properties of plasma and a wide variety of methods for its preparation. Also, in metallurgy, plasma is used as a source of thermal energy, capable of producing metal melting in a short time. The paper studies the process of obtaining a metal powder from a CoCr alloy in a gas discharge with liquid electrodes. The regularities describing the relationship between discharge parameters and properties of the powders obtained. The resulting powders can be used in Selective Laser Melting technology.
