The significant growth of Additive Manufacturing has resulted in increased demand for small gradation metallic powders. This study compares powders obtained through ultrasonic atomization and gas atomization methods, analyzing their particle distribution, chemical composition, density, and flowability. Test samples created using both methods were analyzed for differences in microstructure, porosity, and hardness. Mechanical properties were also analyzed through tensile testing and impact tests. The study confirms that both methods can deliver materials with similar properties.
The significant growth of Additive Manufacturing (AM), visible over the last ten years, has driven an increase in demand for small gradation metallic powders of a size lower than 100 mu m. Until now, most affordable powders for AM have been produced using gas atomization. Recently, a new, alternative method of powder production based on ultrasonic atomization with melting by electric arc has appeared. This paper summarizes the preliminary research results of AM samples made of two AISI 316L steel powder batches, one of which was obtained during Ultrasonic Atomization (UA) and the other during Plasma Arc Gas Atomization (PAGA). The comparison starts from powder particle statistical distribution, chemical composition analysis, density, and flowability measurements. After powder analysis, test samples were produced using AM to observe the differences in microstructure, porosity, and hardness. Finally, the test campaign covered an analysis of mechanical properties, including tensile testing with Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Charpy's impact tests. A comparative study of parts made of ultrasonic and gas atomization powders confirms the likelihood that both methods can deliver material of similar properties.
