ADVANCED POWDER TECHNOLOGIES LLC (APT)
- an inventor of technology for metal nanopowders, alloys and chemical compounds (metal oxides and nitrides) production by the electric explosion of wire (EEW) method.
Our Trends:
Industrial production of metal nanopowders.
Development of innovative nanopowder application technologies.
Unique Character of Metal Nanopowders Produced by the Electric Explosion of Wire method:
- High chemical activity.
- Inefficient agglomerating.
- Possible regulation of size-consist.
- Energy release which is not connected with chemical behavior of processes along with powder agglomeration.
- Realization of block nanoparticle structure in powders, produced in particular conditions, i.e. nanoparticles consist of separate 3-10 millimicron blocks (specific area grows up on scale at chemical reaction behavior).
- Possible synthesis of multicomponent nanoparticles from metals with different thermophysical properties (for example Al-Fe, Zn-Ni, Zn-Cu), that allows to synthesize particles with required phase composition for the tasks of practice.
