| Abstract Scope |
This talk will cover some of our recent work on utilizing inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) processing to promote alloying and spheroidization of metallic powders for use in powder metallurgy (PM) & reactive material (RM) applications. ICP has emerged as a high value-added processing technique for purifying, spheroidizing, and even alloying powders for use in PM, particularly in additive manufacturing where flowability and purity can drastically affect the desired properties of printed parts. Results from our work on Cu-Ni and Al-Zn will be presented, to include characterization and testing, as well as the technical challenges with each system. |
