摘要： Close-coupled atomization systems and methods employing non-axisymmetric gas flow have demonstrated superior efficiency in the production of fine superalloy powder, compared to conventional close-coupled atomization utilizing an axisymmetric annular gas orifice and an axisymmetric melt nozzle. A means has been devised for convening otherwise axisymmetric plenums into non-axisymmetric plenums that produce non-axisymmetric gas flow.

摘要： Apparatus for close coupled atomization of melts of metals having high melting points with low superheats is taught. The atomization apparatus includes means for supplying melt to be atomized at the relatively low superheat, melt guide means for guiding the melt as a stream to an atomization zone and a gas supply and means for delivering the gas as a stream to the atomization zone where both the melt supply and gas supply to the atomization zone are in very close proximity. The melt supply has an inwardly tapered lower end disposed immediately above the atomization zone. The gas supply surrounds the melt guide tube and the gas is delivered as a jet against the melt emerging from the melt guide tube. The temperature of the gas impacting the end of the melt guide tube is very low because of the gas expansion. The tendency for this gas to withdraw heat from the melt guide tube and cause a freeze-up is reduced by providing a shield for guiding the gas from the gas supply to the orifice where most of the gas expansion and cooling takes place. The gas shield contacts the melt supply tube at its lower end and conducts heat from the melt supply tube toward its upper end. The gas shield is kept very thin, and at least one groove is formed laterally in the gas shield to inhibit and reduce the flow of heat from the lower portion to the upper portion of the gas shield.

摘要： The method and apparatus of this invention is related to measuring a flow rate of a liquid having a density .rho. from a vessel having an inner cavity and a pouring channel. A flow sensor introduces a first gas flow into the liquid in the cavity at a first position, the inner cavity having a cross-sectional area A.sub.1 at the first position, and a second gas flow into the liquid in the pouring channel at a second position, the pouring channel having a cross-sectional area A.sub.2 at the second position, there being a vertical distance z between the first and second positions. A transducer provides an output signal proportional to a pressure differential p.sub.1 -p.sub.2 between the first and second gas flows. A processor receives the output signal and determines the liquid flow rate m through the pouring channel according to the proportional relation ##EQU1## where g is gravity.
