Production Unit for Fusible Metal Powders

Аннотация

A pilot production unit for fusible metal powders is considered. The formation of liquid metal particles in a melt generator based on the chamber of a low-thrust rocket engine is described. The systems employed in the proposed unit are itemized, including supply systems for the fuel components and initial powder material; the system for flow-rate measurement; the system for collection of the solidifying metal particles; and the system for automated collection and preliminary analysis of the experimental data.
