Abstract: Adopting improved Electrode Induced Gas Atomization (EIGA) technology, the feasibility of preparing spherical chromium powder by atomization is verified, and production efficiency is improved through process optimization. The effects of superheat and atomization pressure on powder particle size distribution and yield were focused. Scanning electron microscopy and Hall flowmeter were used to evaluate the morphology and flowability of spherical chromium powder. The results show that the sphericity of chromium powder prepared by EIGA method is over 98%. The optimal degree of superheat is 230-300 ℃. An increase in atomization pressure leads to a decrease in particle size. The yield of 15-53 μm powder is optimal at 5 MPa, and the efficiency far exceeds that of plasma method, while maintaining or surpassing the performance level of chromium powder prepared by plasma method.
