Abstract
Close-coupled atomization systems and methods employing axisymmetric fluid flow and non-axisymmetric melt guide tube exit orifice configuration have demonstrated superior efficiency in the production of fine superalloy powder, such as, for example, nickel base superalloys compared to conventional close-coupled atomization utilizing an axisymmetric annular gas orifice and an axisymmetric guide melt guide tube exit orifice configuration.
