Plasma Atomization is a technology that uses thermal plasma jets to produce fine spherical powders from a wire feedstock. In comparison with gas atomization, plasma atomization is considered as a rather costly process and is therefore often reserved to higher value materials such as Titanium (both commercially pure and the Ti-6Al-4V alloy), Inconel, Niobium, Molybdenum, Tantalum and Tungsten (reference needed).

Users of that technology
Only few companies own plasma atomizers. Users of the technology are often technology developer that decided to exploit the technology themselves, mostly for competitive advantage reasons. The main three provider of plasma atomized powder Tekna Plasma Systems, PyroGenesis Canada Inc., and AP&C Advanced Powders and Coatings.
