Two-phase atomization

Two-fluid atomization, sometimes also termed twin-fluid atomization, two-phase atomization or aerodynamic atomization, is one of the commonly used techniques in many areas. Two-fluid... 

The melt atomization is generally referred to as two-phase atomization (or twin fluid atomization). The fluid being atomized is typically a molten metal, while a secondary fluid is used as the atomization media to break-up the molten metal into droplets. During atomization, jets of the secondary fluid are formed and accelerated using a stream injector. These jets are then focused onto a stream of molten metal to promote disintegration.
