Metal powders can be manufactured using various processes such as atomization, chemical synthesis, electrolysis, and solid-state reduction. Out of these processes, atomization is a dominant method to produce metal and pre-alloyed powders, such as iron, Aluminium, copper, steel, bronze, and tin. The technique uses high pressure fluid jets to disperse molten metal stream into fine droplets, which then solidifies into fine particles. There are various types of atomization processes, such as water atomization, gas atomization, centrifugal atomization, and ultrasonic atomization. Water and gas atomization are popular and commercially used processes owing to their cost efficiency and easy availability.

Atomizing metal powder has wide applications in metallurgy, coating, and decorations, additive manufacturing, and sintered parts. The various kinds of metal powders are used as bonding agents in the fabrication of diamond cutting and grinding tools. Moreover, the increasing use of additive manufacturing is driving growth in the growth of the atomizing metal powder market

Extensive Use of Atomizing Metal Powder in Surface Coating Process

Surface coating is a cost-effective way to achieve high-performance characteristics on exposed surfaces. There are diverse applications of atomized metal powders in the surface coating process. Metal powders are used for coating or layering purposes of industrial products. A wide range of pure metal powders is used for coatings for buildup repair and coatings that protect the product from high temperature and oxidation. Metal powder coating is used to render the metallic surface strong, resilient, and acquire other properties of relevance. These metal powders offer a proven cost-effective method to enhance both the performance and endurance of components in a high-wear and corrosive environment. The different types of metal powders such as nickel, cobalt, and iron are used in surface coatings. In the surface coating process, iron powder is used to deposit a layer of fine-grained particles of the metal. Iron powder is used for surface coating of objects exposed to high temperatures. Such coating is utilized to improve the resilience and wear resistance of high-speed moving parts in engineering processes, such as engine valves, steel rollers, printing rollers, and glass bottle manufacturing molds. The use of a high-quality iron coating on the surface increases the durability of the surface. The thermal surface coating can also enhance the performance of the part or assembly. Also, iron powder manufacturers offer specialty grades of materials to fit various coating techniques. The metal powder sector is expanding and seeking new market opportunities. Players operating in the market are also offering standard and custom powders that deliver the coating properties for specific application demands. In important end-use sectors, such as aerospace and oil & gas, the demand for innovative surface coating technologies is constantly expanding. Furthermore, industries are increasingly adopting atomized metal powder for surface coating since it is a cost-effective and efficient technique. Thus, the extensive use of atomizing metal powder in surface coating boosts the growth of the atomizing metal powder market.
