Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for melting a material without a crucible and for atomizing the melted material in order to produce powder, comprising: an atomizing nozzle; an induction coil having windings, which become narrower in the direction of the atomizing nozzle at least in some sections; and a material bar at least partially inserted into the induction coil. The induction coil is designed to melt the material of the material bar in order to produce a melt flow. The induction coil and the atomizing nozzle are arranged in such a way that the melt flow is or can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle through a first opening of the atomizing nozzle in order to atomize the melt flow by means of an atomizing gas, which can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for melting a material without a crucible and for atomizing the melted material in order to produce powder, comprising: an atomizing nozzle (5); an induction coil (4) having windings (4a-d), which become narrower in the direction of the atomizing nozzle (5) at least in some sections; and a material bar (3) at least partially inserted into the induction coil (4). The induction coil (4) is designed to melt the material of the material bar (3) in order to produce a melt flow (16). The induction coil (4) and the atomizing nozzle (5) are arranged in such a way that the melt flow (16) is or can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle (5) through a first opening (20) of the atomizing nozzle (5) in order to atomize the melt flow (16) by means of an atomizing gas (19), which can be introduced into the atomizing nozzle (5).
