We ended up using the CPM90V in our prototype, although, corrosion resistance is a concern. Our customer is currently evaluating it in service.
The original material appears to be a 15-5 or custom 450.
Again abrasive wear was the major concern.
Has anyone had any experience with Carpenter's...
The only other info. I can offer is that the end product is a powdered cheese.
It would seem that the slurry would not be that abrasive but it "chewed" through the original design quickly.
I thought one of the Nitronic grades may work. Yes/No?
Other web sites have mentioned carbide...
Yes, I believe it is called a nozzle.
It spins at approx. 4000 RPM
The liquid originally processed is now more of a slurry and is now causing severe wear to the original design.

Need some material suggestions for an atomizer that changes a liquid into a powder for the food industry.
Current material is a 400 series stainless heat treated to 55-60 Rc.
This is a multiple part assembly that is experiencing extremely abrasive wear.
Machinability is also a concern.
Any...
