The paper presents a new method for coating commercial metal powders with rare-earth elements (REE). This method consists of a two-step treatment of a metal powder in a single vacuum cycle, namely the pulsed irradiation above the melting point by a low-energy high-current electron beam with subsequent magnetron sputtering of REE. This research reports the preparation of Al-Dy core-shell powder with an average diameter of particles of 40 mu m. A powder holder system, providing rotary agitation and shaking of powder, was used to guarantee the uniform processing of each particle. It was established that electron beam irradiation leads to smoothing and cleaning the Al particles from surface oxides. With an increase in the number of pulses, the uniformity of processing increases; however, an increase in the average particle size occurs. Subsequent magnetron sputtering allows completely coating the surface of processed powder with dysprosium. The proposed method can be suitable for fabricating different metal-REE core-shell powders with necessary changes in processing parameters.
