Application Note: ResonantAcoustic® Mixing: Coating Of Micron Materials With Nanopowder

By Resodyn Acoustic Mixers

Resodyn Corporation proposes a unique ResonantAcoustic® mixing technology capable of cost and time effective mixing of nano- and micron-sized powders. Nano-sized powder such as MgO can be, within minutes, uniformly dispersed and attached to micron-sized Mg powder in the form of an ultrathin film covering surface of all Mg powder particles. After ResonantAcoustic® mixing, composite Mg/MgO powder can further be processed using conventional Powder Metallurgy, Casting, or Thermal Spray technologies resulting in an Mg microstructure reinforced with uniformly distributed 3D network of MgO nanophase.
