ULTRASONIC METAL ATOMIZATION

A Revolutionary Approach to Material Research & Powder Production

AMAZEMET’s technology is a game-changer for material research and metal additive manufacturing. It revived ultrasonic atomization to revolutionize the approach to powder production and material development, meeting the demands of modern researches and industries focused on innovation and efficiency.

The technology, unlike gas atomization systems, uses ultrasonic vibration for metal atomization. At its core, this technology utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create small particles from a liquid. It’s quite similar to the ultrasonic humidifiers, where a fine mist is produced from water. The same principle applies here, but instead of water, we use molten metals like steel, titanium, or other high-temperature alloys. Metal is poured or melted directly on the vibrating part resulting with tiny droplets being ejected from the surface. Droplets solidify in surrounding inert gas atmosphere forming powder particles.

The result are highly spherical metal powders with narrow particle size distribution – up to 80% is good to use in desired processes.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

Projects in which we participate

Over the past few years, AMAZEMET has participated in more than 30 consortia involving projects such as EIC Pathfinder, M-ERA.NET, CETP, RFCS, Horizon 2020, and ESA-funded projects. Currently AMAZEMET has been granted 8 international projects.

PD4AM2SoftMag makes use of the available ultrasonic powder processing technology that was newly developed at the participating Hop-On Facility to support the extensive research of the AM2SoftMag project. The aim is to optimize processing routes via ultrasonic melting for the production of high quality Fe-based amorphous powder particularly suitable for the additive manufacturing (AM) of complex shape amorphous soft-magnetic components for highly efficient electrical machines. The main ambition of PD4AM2SoftMag is to up-scale the novel ultrasonic atomization technology for high-throughput production of Fe-based amorphous powder with the goal to compete against today’s powder gas atomization techniques in terms of cost and quality of powders. PD4AM2SoftMag brings added value, flexibility to AM2SoftMag and it mitigates its risks. PD4AM2SoftMag shares the same vision of AM2SoftMag that, one day, 3D printing will become the de facto standard technology for the manufacturing of soft-magnetic materials for highly efficient electrical machines. To prove the viability of the approach, the partners expect to demonstrate superior properties of the ultrasonic atomized powder to meet high-quality standards for the selecting laser melting (SMLSLM) process used by AM2SoftMag for the AM of the soft-magnetic components. Major breakthroughs is in a will be made toward the flexible and large-scale production of superior soft-magnetic Fe-based amorphous powder for the AM2SoftMag technology. Thereby PD4AM2SoftMag contributes to enhance the energy efficiency of electrical devices and thus substantially contribute to the European Green Deal.

The BIOMET4D project focuses on developing biodegradable, shape-morphing metallic actuators for minimally invasive surgeries. AMAZEMET’s role involves advancing the atomization of Mg and Zn-based alloys, crucial for producing high-quality powders used in multi-material printing. Their efforts emphasize sustainability and a circular economy by optimizing powder production and recycling processes, thereby minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact while ensuring high standards for medical applications.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a promising new technology, offering high efficiency, low cost and adaptability. However, despite the use of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), AM currently struggles to produce complex geometries cost-effectively on a large scale. The EU-funded GlobalAM project aims to address this challenge and advance AM capabilities. It will develop a hybrid production approach on non-metallic substrates that exploits the flexibility of LPBF and accommodates the production of complex components to significantly accelerate the manufacturing process. In addition, the project will integrate state-of-the-art methods and technologies to enable large-scale production, as demonstrated by the manufacture of a power electronics cooling device.

High manganese steels are the go-to structural material for applications requiring high corrosion resistance, but their properties are typically inferior to WC-Co materials used in coating applications. AMAZEMET’s role in the project is the atomization of novel high-manganese steel alloys developed during the project, which could, due to the work-hardening effect, replace WC-Co coatings, providing a Co-free alternative for industrial applications.

AMAZEMET will support the project by providing custom FeCrAlY alloy powders using its ultrasonic atomization technology for Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and Powder Bed Fusion Electron Beam (PBF-EB) processes. These powders will help manufacture open volumetric receivers with enhanced properties crucial for concentrated solar power energy plants. Additionally, AMAZEMET will engage in CO2 footprint and lifecycle assessment processes.

The NewAIMS project aims to develop high-performance steel for Additive Manufacturing (AM) by combining optimized chemical composition with non-conventional time-temperature processes, achieving microstructures beyond typical AM processes. As a spin-off of Warsaw University of Technology, AMAZEMET participates in NewAIMS by testing ultrasonic atomization and high-temperature LPBF processing of innovative steels resistant to cracking. As an SME partner, AMAZEMET supports research projects and is open for new challenges and collaborations to develop new alloys suited for powder metallurgy.

The 3D-BioMg project focuses on developing bioresorbable magnesium-based alloys, specifically Mg-Zn-Zr, for use in orthopedic implants and scaffolds. By integrating rapid prototyping techniques with advanced post-processing, the project seeks to achieve stable corrosion rates and enhanced mechanical properties suitable for temporary implants. As a spin-off of Warsaw University of Technology, AMAZEMET contributes to 3D-BioMg with its expertise in ultrasonic atomization and LPBF technology, producing high-purity magnesium powders optimized for additive manufacturing.

The project aims to explore alternative hydrogen storage methods in materials such as silica aerogels and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) to increase energy efficiency, storage reliability, and safety under a low pressure of 3.5 MPa, enabling its use as a flexible and scalable energy source at ambient temperature. AMAZEMET’s role is the atomization of multiple HEAs that will be developed during the project, such as TiVZrNbHf.
