Engineering resourcesRF PLASMA PROJECT GUIDE

Inputs for a useful plasma-system discussion.

Use this checklist to frame a 100 or 200 kW RF induction plasma project. Unknown values can be identified as questions for the engineering review.

01

Material identity

Provide the material name, major chemistry and any components that may affect heating, reaction or handling. Include the current feed condition and whether representative sample data is available.

  • Material and composition
  • Current powder condition
  • Moisture, oxygen or contamination concerns
02

Particle-size distribution

Send the current range and the target range, together with the measurement method when available. A single average value is rarely enough to define feeding and collection.

  • D10 / D50 / D90 or sieve range
  • Current shape and flow behavior
  • Oversize or fines limits
03

Target transformation

Describe the required result in measurable terms. For spheroidization, identify morphology, density, flowability or other acceptance criteria that matter to the downstream process.

  • Target morphology
  • Desired product properties
  • Available before-and-after evidence
04

Scale and atmosphere

State the preliminary feed rate or annual demand, the expected operating schedule and the gas or atmosphere constraints that should be reviewed.

  • Feed rate or throughput target
  • Carrier and plasma gas assumptions
  • Operating schedule and collection route
05

Plant boundary

Preliminary equipment selection also needs power, cooling, floor-space and interface information. Mark unavailable data as pending rather than guessing.

  • Incoming electrical supply
  • Cooling-water capacity and quality
  • Layout, ventilation and material handling
