Inverted Disk Centrifugal Atomization of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

Pages 169-175 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

Magnesium AZ91 alloy powder was produced by centrifugal atomization under various conditions using an inverted disk atomizer. The particle size distribution was obtained as a function of the disk shape and rotation speed. The microstructure of particles and their shape were examined and characterized. Their cooling rates were obtained from theoretical relations and related to the secondary dendrite arm spacing. © 1997 Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd

Résumé

De la poudre d'alliage de magnesium AZ91 a été produite par atomisation centrifuge avec la méthode du disque inversé. Nous avons étudié l'influence de la vitesse de rotation et de la géométrie du disque rotatif sur la distribution granulométrique des particules. De plus la forme et la microstruture des particules atomisées ont été caractérisées. La distance interdendritique secondaire a été reliée au taux de refroidissement des particules pendant la solidification.
