Industrial: Powder Metallurgy
Typically, copper is melted and the liquid metal flows through an orifice where it is struck by a high velocity stream of gas or liquid, usually water, thus breaking the molten metal into particles which solidify rapidly. Particle size and shape are influenced particularly by the atomizing medium, the pressure and the flow rate.
