Metal powders have continued to gain use in fabricating sintered parts through additive manufacturing, which eliminates much of the waste of traditional machining.

Other applications for metal powders include:

• Chemical processes
• Food supplements and additions
• Friction materials
• Magnetic composites
• Polymer filtration
• Printing
• Thermal spraying
• Surface coatings
• Welding

Dry grinding mills are well-suited to metal powder requirements such as homogeneity of the mixture, uniformity of the morphology and relatively narrow particle size distribution.

Milling offers a number of advantages over atomization, the other major production method for metal powder. These advantages include:

• Fast, efficient and reliable fine grinding
• Versatility of the process
• Low power consumption
• Cooling or heating temperature control
• Ease and safety of operation
• Low maintenance
• Compact design, requiring less plant space
