Spheroidization of Nickel Powder and Coating with Carbon Layer through Laser Heating

We developed a simple and efficient process, laser heating of nickel powder in ethanol, to produce carbon-encapsulated nickel microspheres. Long-pulse-width laser heated nickel powder suspended in pure ethanol into liquid droplets. In turn, the latter droplets became sphere-like, pyrolyzed surroundi...
