Spray Simulation Modeling and Numerical Simulation of Sprayforming metals [Paperback]

An introduction to the various modelling and simulation techniques employed in spray forming.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.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. The book is aimed at researchers and engineers working in process technology, chemical engineering, and materials science.Preface; Nomenclature; 1. Introduction; 2. Spray forming of metals; 3.
