Resumo
This work aimed to produce powders of Al95Fe2 Cr2 Ti1 quasicrystalline phase former alloy using different atomizers, Hermiga (PH) and Spray forming/gas atomizer (PS), and investigate the powder characteristics as morphology, size distribution, flowability, microstructure, phase formation and thermal stability. The atomized powders were separated in different particles size ranges: <32μm, 32-45 μm and 45-75 μm. The characterization of powder microstructure and morphology for each range was carried out by X-ray diffraction, Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and semi-quantitative composition analysis by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The flowability was measured by Carney funnel. The PH powder presented a bimodal particle size distribution and its particles displayed a constant circularity and aspect ratio with microstructure rich in quasicrystalline phase. The PS powder showed a unimodal particle size distribution and the circularity and aspect ratio decrease with increasing particles size. The PS powder flowability was 1.6 times better than PH powder.
