A New Spraying Technology

The Metal Glass Research Center in Institute of Materials Research of Tohoku University, combined with the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Iwate University and Hard Industry Corporation have showed the achievement of new spraying technology, aim at achieveing production of fine iron-based amorphous alloy powders. Due to the fine granularity and spherical particle shapes, these new fine amorphous metal powders are supposed to be used for soft magnetic materials, hot spray coating, powder injection molding and powder metallurgy.
