In the aerospace sector, nickel-based superalloys have long been the material of choice for manufacturing critical engine components due to their outstanding high-temperature performance. With the rapid advancement of additive manufacturing technologies, the demand for high-quality nickel-based superalloy powders has grown increasingly urgent. However, conventional powder-production methods either fail to meet quality standards or suffer from low efficiency, posing significant challenges to the industry. Fortunately, a recent breakthrough by a team at Dalian University of Technology—the Self-Impact Ultrasonic Atomization (SIUA) method—has successfully overcome these bottlenecks, opening up a new avenue for the production of nickel-based superalloy powders.

This paper provides a detailed analysis of an innovative powder-production technique—ultrasonic vibration-assisted melt atomization—proposed by Professor Dong Fuyu and his colleagues at Shenyang University of Technology, with a focus on its application in the preparation of high-entropy alloy powders, particularly the research findings on the TiZrTa0.7NbMo high-entropy refractory alloy. The study offers new insights for the future development of high-temperature, high-strength materials.
