More Information
Summary:The present disclosure relates to a device for melting a material without a crucible and for atomizing the melted material in order to produce powder, comprising: an atomizing nozzle; an induction coil having windings, which become narrower in the direction of the atomizing nozzle at least in some sections; and a material bar at least partially inserted into the induction coil. The induction coil is designed to melt the material of the material bar in order to produce a melt flow. The induction coil and the atomizing nozzle are arranged in such a way that the melt flow is or can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle through a first opening of the atomizing nozzle in order to atomize the melt flow by means of an atomizing gas, which can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle.
