Boron Nitride Nozzles for Molten Metal Atomizing


Boron Nitride nozzles are widely used in the processing of metal powder. Molten metal atomization is a process used to fabricate metal powder from a melt. In a typical atomizer, liquid metal is poured from a nozzle into a large chamber while being sprayed with high-pressure water, oil or gas. This causes the metal droplets to separate and condense into a powder that collects at the bottom. Atomization has become one of the most popular methods of powdering metals.

Boron Nitride Nozzles
Atomization begins in a furnace where the metal is kept liquefied by electric heating elements. The metal falls into the spray chamber through a “nozzle” – this nozzle is designed to a high degree of perfection and specification. The nozzle is one of the most important parts of the atomization process – a damaged or clogged nozzle can cause the metal flow to stop or the flow to increase dramatically – both of which can disrupt the powdering process.

To prevent this from happening, the nozzle must be mechanically robust and offer no resistance to the flow of liquid metal. At the same time, the nozzle acts as an interface between the hot furnace at the top and the much cooler spray chamber below. Therefore, it needs to be made of a strong refractory material while also being resistant to high-temperature shocks.
Boron nitride has very low thermal expansion. Together with high thermal conductivity, this ensures that the material is very shock-resistant. It can easily withstand rapid changes in the temperature inside the atomizer. It will not crack or crack under thermal stress.
Under high vacuum, boron nitride can withstand high temperatures up to 1800 °C. A gas atmosphere can push the temperature further up to 2100 °C. This means boron nitride will remain solid during the melting of most metals.
It is also easily machinable, allowing us to machine small threads, holes and other finer details with high precision and tolerances. Nozzles made of boron nitride can be easily customized, allowing both constrained and free geometries.

What makes the ceramic heating element the core part of a Vaporizer?

Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/ceramic-heater-coil-for-vaporizer.html Not every dry herb vaporizers are the same! Especially those used ceramic heating element. The ceramic heating element is a safety and healthiest option for dry herb vaporizers, so every vaper is preferred to choose those vaporizers that carry ceramic heating element. The proponents believe that the heating element is the core of the vaporizer and primarily dictates the experience of the taste. Let's more specific, when a vaper burns tobacco, marijuana, or hemp during traditional smoking to release the active component, whatever it's nicotine, CBD, or THC, they inhale the smoke. We all know that's not good for health. Rather than burning, Vaporizer heats the liquid, wax or even dry herb to release a vapour, and a vaper inhales the vapour without any damage to their lungs or throat. And why the ceramic heating element is becoming the core part of the vaporizer? It's mainly because: 1. Ceramic
