| Popis: | Metal powders are essential for additive manufacturing (AM), with their morphology significantly impacting the performance of AM components. Gas atomisation (GA) is a common method for producing metal powders due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, GAed powders often exhibit defects such as alien powders, satellite powders, and hollow powders, which can adversely affect the AM process. To address these challenges, coaxial gas technology has been introduced and analysed through numerical simulation. Our study involved comparing GA processes with and without coaxial gas technology to generate two types of powders. These powders were assessed using Synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SXCT) and classification algorithms. The pores in AM components manufactured from these powders were examined using SXCT, and their mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile tests. The findings of our research validate the effectiveness of coaxial gas technology in reducing powder defects and enhancing the performance of AM components. |
