For the powder production the ingots are liquefied in aninduction furnace and brought to the gas atomization plant.The atomizing process is carried out in a closed containerwhere a stream <strong>of</strong> molten <strong>metal</strong> is atomized under highpressure with the aid <strong>of</strong> an inert gas, usually nitrogen. Withthis so-called gas atomization the speed <strong>of</strong> solidification is soslow that, during the time <strong>of</strong> the fall in the container, thedrops formed during atomization are transformed into balls.The globular form <strong>of</strong> the grains guarantees excellentflow behavior and thus, good controllability <strong>of</strong> the <strong>powders</strong>upply.Wind screening for the powder grain size.Continuous casting <strong>of</strong> the hardfacing rods.5
