This book describes and illustrates metal spray and spray deposition from the process engineering, metallurgical, and application viewpoints. The authors include step-by-step fundamental information for the metal spray process and detail current engineering developments and applications. They offer industry insight on non-equilibrium solidification processes for yielding stable metal structures and properties.

This book describes the latest research on producing functional particles using spray processes. The authors detail micro level elementary processes and phase boundaries, process analysis scaling and modeling, and macro level process functions and particle properties. They include numerical simulations and particulars of experiments for deriving process conditions for particle production.

Spray forming combines the metallurgical processes of metal casting and powder metallurgy to fabricate metal products with enhanced properties. This introduction to the various modelling and simulation techniques employed demonstrates how they are applied in process analysis and development. Udo Fritsching derives and describes the main models and then presents their application in the simulation of the key features of spray forming. Fritsching documents theoretical results by referencing them to experimental data wherever possible.

Spray forming combines the metallurgical processes of metal casting and powder metallurgy to fabricate metal products with enhanced properties. This book provides an introduction to the various modelling and simulation techniques employed in spray forming, and shows how they are applied in process analysis and development. The author begins by deriving and describing the main models. He then presents their application in the simulation of the key features of spray forming. Wherever possible he discusses theoretical results with reference to experimental data. Building on the features of metal spray forming, he also derives common characteristic modelling features that may be useful in the simulation of related spray processes. The book is aimed at researchers and engineers working in process technology, chemical engineering and materials science.
