description High-quality Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B spherical powder is crucial for the powder metallurgy preparation of high-strength and tough Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B alloys. In this study, the controlled preparation of high-quality Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B spherical powder was achieved using the vacuum gas atomization method. The effects and mechanisms of atomization gas pressure, the melt nozzle inner diameter, and heat treatment temperature on the microstructure and flowability of Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B spherical powder were systematically investigated. By optimizing process parameters, spherical Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B powder with a sphericity of 95.1% and a flowability of 15.88 s/50 g was obtained, laying the foundation for the powder metallurgy preparation of high-strength and tough Fe-Cr-Ni-W-B alloys.
