Abstract

At present, additive technologies, including layer-by-layer synthesis technologies, are currently one of the most dynamically developing areas of modern materials science. Since raw materials for the production of products by additive technologies are an important component of the process, the development of methods for spheroidizing powder compositions is relevant and has practical significance. The priority goal of additive technologies has always been the manufacture of products from metals with certain physical and mechanical properties, in particular, metals and alloys for high-temperature applications.
