Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the effects of the main technological parameters and of the geometry of the atomizing nozzle on the effectiveness of the atomization process in the preparation of metal powders.
-
2.
It was established that the energy expended on disintegration alone is negligible, amounting to a few per cent of the total energy required for conducting the process.
-
3.
It was found that the efficiency of the process cannot be appreciably raised by varying technological and design parameters.
