Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to experimentally investigate the production and characterization processes of 316L powder using ultrasonic atomization method. The manufacturability parameters were determined as the suggested parameters on the ultrasonic atomization device. The experimental studies were conducted at two different frequencies, namely 20 kHz and 35 kHz. Scanning electron microscope was used to determine the shape of the produced 316L powders, while phases and percentages within the powder were identified through XRF and SEM-EDX analyses. The research demonstrates that the ultrasonic atomization method is an effective technique for producing highly spherical metal powders. The findings reveal that increasing the frequency leads to a significant reduction in the average particle size of the powders. Specifically, the average particle size of metal powders produced at a frequency of 20 kHz was determined to be 75.22 μm, while increasing the frequency to 35 kHz reduced this value to 55.3 μm. The results indicate that higher frequencies offer advantages for the production of finer powders and serve as a critical parameter for optimizing the efficiency of the atomization process.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, 316L toz üretim ve karakterizasyon süreçlerini ultrasonik atomizasyon yöntemiyle deneysel olarak araştırmaktır. Üretilebilirlik parametreleri, ultrasonik atomizasyon cihazı üzerinde önerilen parametreler olarak belirlenmiştir. Deneysel çalışmalar, 20 kHz ve 35 kHz olmak üzere iki farklı frekansta gerçekleştirilmiştir. Üretilen 316L tozlarının şeklini belirlemek için taramalı elektron mikroskobu kullanılmış, X-ışını Floresans Spektroskopisi ve Enerji Dağılımı X-ışını Spektroskopisi analizleriyle toz içindeki fazlar ve yüzdeleri belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, ultrasonik atomizasyon yönteminin yüksek küresellikte metal tozlarının üretiminde etkili bir teknik olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgular, frekans artışının tozların ortalama partikül boyutunda belirgin bir küçülmeye neden olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle, 20 kHz frekansta üretilen metal tozlarının ortalama partikül boyutu 75.22 μm olarak belirlenirken, frekansın 35 kHze çıkarılmasıyla bu değer 55.3 μmye düşmüştür. Sonuçlar, daha yüksek frekansların ince toz üretiminde avantaj sağladığını ve atomizasyon sürecinin verimliliğini optimize etmek için kritik bir parametre olduğunu göstermektedir.
