Powder processing and Synthesis

Plasma Powder Processing Plant

Mettech has designed and built a prototype 4P module to demonstrate the capability of the high capacity Axial III torch to transform almost any powder into a spheroidize and densified thermal spray grade, free flowing powder.

We have also demonstrated the ability to synthesize meta-stable  and non-stoichiometric nano powders from liquid precursors and solid/lqiuid suspensions.

The 4P can also be used to surface treat powders in order to purify and glassify particle surfaces to promote full densification by hot isostatic pressure techniques and to passivate the particle surface.  Download our Plasma Powder Processing Plant (4P) brochure for more information.
