Case Study Powder Metallurgy

Vulcan Refractories supplies high-performance refractory components for metal powder atomisation units used in powder metallurgy. These systems operate under extreme heat and mechanical stress, demanding materials that offer precision, durability, and long-term reliability.

Our products meet the specific demands of atomisation processes used in additive manufacturing, metal injection moulding, and powder metallurgy. We work closely with clients to supply components that support safe, stable, and efficient production.

Applications

Our refractory materials are used in metal powder atomisation plants, where metals are melted and transformed into fine powder through high-pressure gas or water streams. These environments require materials with excellent thermal and chemical stability, as well as dimensional accuracy.

Products

We provide a focused range of products specifically engineered for this process, including:

  • Alumina crucibles for holding and pouring molten metal
  • Zirconia nozzles for precise atomisation
  • High-performance cements for installation and sealing

These components are available in standard sizes or tailored to exact requirements to ensure seamless integration with atomisation equipment.

Key Features

Our refractories offer outstanding thermal shock resistance, making them ideal for repeated heating and cooling cycles. They are abrasion-resistant and non-reactive with the metals being processed, preventing contamination and ensuring product purity.

We manufacture to tight tolerances to guarantee stability and flow accuracy during atomisation. Components can operate at temperatures up to 1650°C, maintaining structural integrity and performance in extreme conditions.
