Centrifugal shot casting atomization

CSC atomization was developed by AEA Harwell Laboratories in the UK in the early 1970 s. Initially, the CSC process was used for the atomization of refractory and oxide materials such as alumina, plutonium oxides, and uranium monocarbide in nuclear fuel applications. Since it is well-suited to the atomization of reactive metals/alloys or those subject to segregation, the CSC process has been applied to a variety of materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and titanium alloys and many refractory metals. The process also has potential to scale up to a continuous process. 

The pressure of argon gas during atomization ranges from 0.03 to 0.1 MPa. The crucible diameter is 75 mm and its rotating speed is up to 400 radians/s. This combination of conditions gives a production rate up to 1 kg/min, l89l The CSC-atomized particles are either spherical or flaky. Spherical particles usually have smooth
