Solidification of Impinging Molten Metal Droplet on a Cold Substrate
نویسنده
چکیده
The phenomenon of impingement and solidification of a molten metal droplet on a substrate occurs in processes like thermal spray coating and spray casting. Molten metal droplet after impingement over a substrate becomes a splat after spreading and solidification. The phenomenon of spreading and solidification of a droplet can be understood by mathematical modeling. In the present work, the spreading and solidification phenomenon of an impinging liquid metal droplet over a cold substrate are studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics software Fluent and validated experimentally. A model for heat transfer and solidification during impingement of a falling liquid Al-33wt%Cu droplet on a 304 stainless steel substrate has been developed. Al-33wt%Cu was selected so that Jackson-Hunt theory can be utilized for the validation of the impingement model.

Modeling Of Heat Transfer And Solidification Of Droplet/Substrate In Microcasting SDM Process
Microcasting Shape-Deposition-Manufacturing is an approach to Solid-Freeform-Fabrication (SFF) process which is a novel method for rapid automated manufacturing of near-net-shape multi-material parts with complex geometries. By this method, objects are made by sequentially depositing molten metal droplets on a substrate and shaping by a CNC tool, layer by layer. Important issues are concerned w...
متن کاملInvestigation of mixing and diffusion processes in hybrid spot laser–MIG keyhole welding
In hybrid laser–MIG keyhole welding, anti-crack elements can be added into the weld pool through a filler metal in anticipation of compensating mass loss, preventing porosity formation and improving compositional and mechanical properties of the welds. Understanding the mixing and diffusion of the filler metal in the molten pool is vital to achieve these desired objectives. In this study, mathe...

متن کاملGrowth behaviors of ultrathin ZnSe nanowires by Au-catalyzed molecular-beam epitaxy
Ultrathin ZnSe nanowires grown by Au-catalyzed molecular-beam epitaxy show an interesting growth behavior of diameter-dependence of growth rates. The smaller the nanowire diameter, the faster is its growth rate. This growth behavior is totally different from that of the nanowires with diameters greater than 60 nm and can not be interpreted by the classical theories of the vapor-liquid-solid mec...
