Abstract
A method of producing a metallic powder material comprises supplying feed materials to a melting hearth, and melting the feed materials on the melting hearth with a first heat source to provide a molten material having a desired chemical composition. At least a portion of the molten material is passed from the melting hearth either directly or indirectly to an atomizing hearth, where it is heated using a second heat source. At least a portion of the molten material from the atomizing hearth is passed in a molten state to an atomizing apparatus, which forms a droplet spray from the molten material. At least a portion of the droplet spray is solidified to provide a metallic powder material.
