Process for producing spheroidized powder from feedstock materials

A spheroidized powder manufactured by a method comprising:

• introducing powder previously manufactured from a gas atomization process into a microwave plasma torch, the powder previously manufactured from a gas atomization process having an average particle size outside of a range for additive manufacturing;
• and
• melting and spheroidizing the powder previously manufactured from a gas atomization process within the microwave plasma torch to form the spheroidized powder particles having different average particle sizes and a smaller particle size distribution from the average particles size and the particle size distribution of the powder previously manufactured from a gas atomization process.
