Laboratory-Scale Gas Atomizer

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is seeking the supply, delivery, and installation of a laboratory-scale Gas Atomizer (GA) to enhance powder synthesis activities at the Clean Energy Innovation (CEI) facility in Mississauga. At the CEI-Mississauga facility, the development and production of advanced battery materials is one of the core activities. High-quality, spherical metal and alloy powders are crucial in advancing the research on energy materials. Obtaining powders with precise alloy compositions, particle sizes, morphologies, and quality in small quantities from commercial sources poses significant challenges. To address this issue, NRC intends to procure a GA capable of preparing molten alloys with specific compositions and atomizing them using high-speed gas to produce spherical and fine powders.
