From powder modification to rejuvenation: Fluidised Bed Reactors in metal powder production and Additive Manufacturing
Fluidised Bed Reactors (FDRs) will be new to many in the Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing industries. The technology offers a host of operational features that are useful in both metal powder production and in instances where batches of powder may need to be ‘rejuvenated’, or brought back into specification.
In this article, Bill Hopkins, Managing Director, Phoenix Scientific Industries (PSI) Limited, introduces the concept of FBRs and considers current and future applications for metal powder producers and users.
