Abstract

Very fine (d < 10 μm) metal and alloy powders can be produced efficiently by a high pressure gas atomization (HPGA) technique. Rapid solidification processing, metal injection molding, thermal spraying and other emerging powder-processing approaches benefit from the use fine powders. This papers reports on the results of an investigation of gas atomization process dynamics with emphasis on the high pressure operating regime. The direct benefit of a better understanding of the process dynamics will be to permit a more informed selection of atomizer design and operating parameters as well as to further improve HPGA performance.

Microstructure and mechanical property of Y<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-based ODS-Cu alloy fabricated by MA-HIP with novel elemental addition process
2023, Materials Chemistry and Physics
The oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)-Cu alloys produced by the combined process of mechanical alloying and hot isothermal pressing (MA-HIP) process have high strength properties, although they have low ductility. In this study, the MA-HIP process was modified based on the yttrium addition and oxygen addition methods to improve the ductility by controlling the microstructure of the ODS-Cu alloys. Namely, we replaced pure Y and Cu₂O powders with a Cu-Y intermetallic compound and pre-heated Cu powders as the starting materials. The final product showed considerable microstructural differences: on the macro-scale, the frequency of interconnection of large/small Cu grain colonies, which was a main factor in brittle fracture, was reduced; while on the nanoscale, yttrium remained as yttria (Y₂O₃) particles within the large size Cu grains. These multiscale microstructural changes resulted in the improved mechanical property: the newly-developed ODS-Cu bulk did not fracture at bending strains of 18% or greater, which can be compared with the previous value of 5% or less in a three-point bending test. Furthermore, the conductivities of our ODS-Cu alloys are 94–96% of pure Cu. This improvement in properties, therefore sheds light to the future application of the ODS-Cu alloys in high-temperature environments.
Experiment design for the neutron irradiation of PM-HIP alloys for nuclear reactors
2023, Nuclear Engineering and Design
This article describes the design of an Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) drop-in neutron irradiation experiment aiming to directly compare the performance of nuclear structural alloys fabricated by powder metallurgy with hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP) against conventional casting or forging. There is growing interest in PM-HIP alloys for nuclear applications because of their microstructural uniformity, superior mechanical properties, and reduced dependence on welding and machining, compared to cast/forged alloys. Nuclear code-qualification of PM-HIP alloys requires neutron irradiation testing to demonstrate performance under relevant conditions. In this experiment, six nuclear structural alloys were irradiated: Ni-based alloys 625 and 690, Grade 91 ferritic steel, SA508 pressure vessel steel, and 304L and 316L austenitic stainless steels. The experiment is assembled into seven capsules in four test trains and irradiated in three ATR inboard A positions. Both the PM-HIP and cast/forged versions of each alloy were irradiated under nearly identical conditions for comparative purposes, to target doses of 1 ± 0.2 and 3 ± 0.2 dpa at temperatures of 300 ± 50 °C and 400 ± 50 °C. A thorough description of the experiment design and thermal, structural and neutronic analyses performed to ensure the targeted irradiation conditions are met is provided. Specimens were configured as small disks, compact tension specimens and tensile bars to facilitate post-irradiation examination (PIE) that will include mechanical testing, microstructure characterization, and fracture toughness testing. Given the considerations for ASTM standardized mechanical testing, comparative fluence and temperature across specimen pairs, and comprehensive PIE planning herein, this work serves as a template for future nuclear materials qualification experiment designs.
Binder jet 3D printing—Process parameters, materials, properties, modeling, and challenges

The yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation were 1461 MPa, 2272 MPa, and 31.5%, respectively, which displayed superior mechanical strength and ductility compared with Ni-based alloys 625 and 718. The atomization condition can control powder morphology, size distribution, and purity [136,148,464]. In the injection molded stainless steel alloy from water and gas atomized powders, a relative density of 97% was reported for the WA powder while near full density was seen for the GA powder [142].
As a non-beam-based additive manufacturing (AM) method, binder jet 3D printing (BJ3DP) is a process in which a liquid binder is jetted on layers of powdered materials, selectively joined, and then followed by densification process. Among AM technologies, binder jetting holds distinctive promise because of the possibility of rapid production of complex structures to achieve isotropic properties in the 3D printed samples. By taking advantage of traditional powder metallurgy, BJ3DP machines can produce prototypes in which material properties and surface finish are similar to those attained with traditional powder metallurgy. Various powdered materials have been 3D printed, but a typical challenge during BJ3DP is developing printing and post-processing methods that maximize part performance. Therefore, a detailed review of the physical processes during 3D printing and the fundamental science of densification after sintering and post–heat treatment steps are provided to understand the microstructural evolution and properties of binder jetted parts. Furthermore, to determine the effects of the binder jetting process on metallurgical properties, the role of powder characteristics (e.g., morphology, mean size, distribution), printing process parameters (e.g., layer thickness, print orientation, binder saturation, print speed, drying time), sintering (e.g., temperature, holding time), and post-processing are discussed. With the development of AM technologies and the need for post-processing in 3D printed parts, understanding the microstructural evolution during densification is necessary and here, processing steps are explained. Finally, opportunities for future advancement are addressed.
Experimental investigation on the effect of melt delivery tube position on liquid metal atomization
2021, Advanced Powder Technology
Metal powders are often made by gas atomization of liquid metal. During the process, liquid metal which flows from a melt delivery tube (MDT) is atomized by high speed gas discharging from a gas nozzle. In this work, the effect of the melt delivery tube position on atomization outcomes such as the yield, mass median diameter, and spread of the particle size distribution, is studied experimentally. A melt atomization setup (pilot-scale) is used to produce tin powder by gas-atomization. Three MDT positions, namely, intruded, extruded and flush with respect to the gas nozzle, are chosen for this study. Three pressure regimes (atmospheric, aspiration and pressurization) are established by varying the relative distance between the MDT and the gas nozzle exit for the three positions. Experimental investigations revealed that the intruded position produces powder with lower mean particle sizes and lower spread than the extruded configuration. The intruded position also gives a significantly higher yield compared to the extruded and flush positions at low gas flow rates, and hence appears to be the most suited for metal atomization using a free-fall configuration.
Properties of ceramic pebbles prepared by melt spraying
2020, Ceramics International
In this study, ceramic pebbles were prepared via a melt spraying method and their properties were systematically characterised. The average particle diameter, sphericity, grain size, specific surface area, and density of the ceramic pebbles prepared by melt spraying were 1.28 mm, 1.01, 2292.92 nm, 6.42 m²/g, and 95.1 %TD, respectively. The amount of Li loss was 3.7055%. A thermal cycle test was conducted, and it was found that the pebbles could withstand fifteen hot–cold cycles. The crush load of the pebbles after heat treatment was 21.6259 ± 5.6282 N. The performance of the ceramic pebbles prepared by melt spraying was compared to that of ceramic pebbles prepared by other methods, and the pebbles prepared via a melt spraying exhibited better properties. The results show that the ceramic pebbles prepared by melt spraying exhibited favourable properties.
Characterization of tritium breeding ceramic pebbles prepared by melt spraying

Therefore, in order to obtain ceramic pebbles with a particle diameter of 1 mm (in the spraying process, a pebble with the particle diameter of 1 mm has a large sphere), it is necessary to control the gas pressure within a limit. In the spraying process, secondary spraying [28] may occur where the droplets separated from the liquid flow will undergo a second crushing under the impact of the gas flow to form finer droplets. In this experiment, secondary spraying is not desirable, which is also the particularity of this experiment in the spraying process.
Li₄SiO₄ and Li₂TiO₃ have long been recognized as two excellent promising tritium breeding materials. In this paper, two kinds of ceramic pebbles, Li₄SiO₄ pure phase ceramic pebbles and Li₄SiO₄-xLi₂TiO₃ multiphase ceramic pebbles were prepared by a melt spraying method at a superheating temperature of 100 ℃ and then tested for their performance. The proportion of pebbles with a particle diameter of 0.8∼1.2 mm reached the maximum of 24.02 % when the spraying pressure is 0.04 MPa. The surface of the pebbles prepared by the spraying method was smooth, and the surface roughness was reported for the first time to reach 2.039 μm. The sphericity reached 1.027. When the Ti/Si molar ratio was 0.5, the crush load of the pebbles after heat treatment reached 71.6 N and the thermal conductivity of the materials reached its maximum of 3.098 W/(m·K) at 700 ℃.
