Manufacturing technologies of metal powder composites

Ivanov I.M.
Abstract

Methods for producing metal powder composites are presented, including those used in additive manufacturing and protective coatings It is shown that in aircraft manufacturing and other industries with high demands on powder properties, gas, thermal, centrifugal, or plasma atomization technologies are the most suitable. At the same time, the final choice of the most suitable technology should be based on a compromise between the required particle quality and the productivity of the process.
