Abstract

See full text

A method for treating a contaminated metal powder obtained as a residue of a metal deposition process is provided. The method includes receiving, by a vibratory filtering apparatus, the contaminated metal powder generated during the metal deposition process. The contaminated metal powder is received from a top end of the vibratory filtering apparatus. The method further includes filtering the contaminated metal powder by passing the contaminated metal powder through a plurality of filter plates. The plurality of filter plates are so positioned sequentially along a height of the vibratory filtering apparatus that dimensions of a first plurality of holes of a filter plate are larger than dimensions of a second plurality of holes of a subsequent filter plate placed below. The vibratory filtering apparatus is vibrating during the filtering of the contaminated metal powder. The method further includes obtaining, by a receptacle, a filtered metal powder that is reusable.
