AbstractGas atomization is one of the key processes used for the production of rapidly solidified materials. The unique feature of the gas atomization process is its capability to form spherical powders of multicomponent alloys containing reactive elements. Spherically shaped powder is specified in the secondary processing operations used in a number of applications. This requirement has resulted from the higher flow rate, better packing density, and lower surface area obtained in spherical particles compared to irregularly shaped particles.

Rapidly Solidified

During a routine examination of the microstructure of rapidly solidified IN-100 powder, produced by a newly-developed centrifugal atomization process1, essentially two distinct types of microstructure were identified. When a high melt superheat is maintained during atomization, the powder particles are predominantly coarse-grained, equiaxed or columnar, with distinctly dendritic microstructures, Figs, la and 4a. On the other hand, when the melt superheat is reduced by increasing the heat flow to the disc of the rotary atomizer, the powder particles are predominantly microcrystalline in character, with typically one dendrite per grain, Figs, lb and 4b. In what follows, evidence is presented that strongly supports the view that the unusual microcrystalline structure has its origin in dendrite erosion occurring in a 'mushy zone' of dynamic solidification on the disc of the rotary atomizer.The critical observations were made on atomized material that had undergone 'splat-quenching' on previously solidified, chilled substrate particles.

Sharp Point

The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software was used to calculate the velocity field in atomization chamber of spray forming equipment. The relationship between melt flow rates, gas aspiration of the atomizer and operating pressure are complex, and the above mentioned parameters are closely related to the atomization process. The influences of different delivery chamfers on gas flow field, which is determined by atomizer structure, were analyzed. Using K-epsilon model with a symmetrical domain, the gas dynamic of different delivery chamfer conditions were investigated. The results indicate that the sharp point of delivery tube causes detachment of flow field, and 56°, 45° and 34° chamfer conditions have same diffusion angle. Gas was aspirated from delivery tube when chamfer was 0°, which is beneficial to liquid metal flow in atomization process.

Proliferating Cell

Jellyfish have existed on the earth for around 600 million years and have evolved in response to environmental changes. Hydrozoan jellyfish, members of phylum Cnidaria, exist in multiple life stages, including planula larvae, vegetatively-propagating polyps, and sexually-reproducing medusae. Although free-swimming medusae display complex morphology and exhibit increase in body size and regenerative ability, their underlying cellular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the roles of cell proliferation in body-size growth, appendage morphogenesis, and regeneration using Cladonema pacificum as a hydrozoan jellyfish model. By examining the distribution of S phase cells and mitotic cells, we revealed spatially distinct proliferating cell populations in medusae, uniform cell proliferation in the umbrella, and clustered cell proliferation in tentacles. Blocking cell proliferation by hydroxyurea caused inhibition of body size growth and defects in tentacle branching, nematocyte differentiation, and regeneration. Local cell proliferation in tentacle bulbs is observed in medusae of two other hydrozoan species, Cytaeis uchidae and Rathkea octopunctata, indicating that it may be a conserved feature among hydrozoan jellyfish. Altogether, our results suggest that hydrozoan medusae possess actively proliferating cells and provide experimental evidence regarding the role of cell proliferation in body-size control, tentacle morphogenesis, and regeneration.
