Conclusions
In the majority of cases the morphology and chemical composition of atomized powder particles are determined by the gas-dynamic conditions of nucleation and subsequent existence of the drops of liquid metal. The rheological characteristics of flow of the air stream past the drops of molten metal have a pronounced influence on the processes of heat and mass exchange between the particles and the surrounding atmosphere.
