Metal powders are used as the primary raw material in the production of coatings. The metal powders are mixed with other materials such as solvents, binders, and additives to form a coating solution. The coating solution is applied to the substrate using various techniques such as spray coating, electrostatic coating, and dip coating. Metal powders used in coatings should have a specific particle size and morphology to ensure uniform and dense coatings. 

ATO Lab Plus ultrasonic metal powder atomizers produce high quality metal powders with excellent flowability, narrow size distribution and spherical particle morphology. These powder properties ensure uniform and dense coatings, which are essential for coating applications. The high flowability of ATO metal powders makes it easier to mix and disperse the powders in coating solutions, resulting in consistent coating quality. The narrow size distribution of ATO metal powders ensures a uniform and homogeneous coating layer, and the spherical particle morphology improves packing density and substrate adhesion.

The alloys used in coatings depend on the specific application and requirements. Some commonly used alloys in coatings are aluminum, zinc, magnesium and copper alloys. These alloys provide excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and thermal protection. Special alloys such as nickel-chromium alloys and titanium alloys are also used for high temperature applications.
