In spray forming, the deposit thermal state is a key parameter which influences the microstructural evolution upon and after droplet impact onto the deposit. The uniform droplet spray (UDS) forming process has been developed to enable precise control of the droplet and deposit thermal state and the resultant material microstructure. By having a uniform droplet size throughout the spray, all the droplets deposited onto the substrate will have the same thermal state upon impact, allowing for precise control of the solidification process. This paper describes a one-dimensional, finite difference model that predicts the temperature and liquid fraction of the deposit during the UDS process. The model employs an explicit temperature-enthalpy method to incorporate a variety of solidification models. Experiments were conducted using Sn-15 wt percent Pb binary alloy. Temperatures were measured in the deposit and acceptable agreement with the simulation was obtained. Modeling has shown that the deposit thermal state is highly dependent on variations in spray conditions, which are predicted using droplet trajectory and droplet thermal models. Using the droplet and deposit models, the relationship between UDS process parameters and material microstructure can be understood.

Uniform Droplet

A two-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to simulate the impinging and solidification process of a single droplet onto substrate in uniform droplet spray rapid prototyping. Droplet free surface is tracked by volume-of-fluid (VOF) algorithm. The effect of surface tension on the droplet is taken into consideration by means of considering surface tension to be a component of the body force. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume formulation. The calculation results predicted the final shape of a molten droplet impacting onto a solid substrate, and revealed that the solidification process began at the leading edge with the spread process of droplet. The simulation results provide insight and information not easy available from experimental. Keywords: numerical simulation, droplet, rapid prototyping

Heat Transfer And Solidification

An experimental device capable of producing uniform metal droplet stream and electric charging and deflecting has been developed. Uniform spherical powder of 180μm in diameter was obtained after cooling and solidification. Numerical models of heat transfer and solidification of droplets were established. The thermal history including solid fraction of droplets in uniform droplet spray process were calculated. Under the common processing conditions, the cooling rate of a droplet of 180μm diameter is of the order of 103−104°C/s. To obtain homogeneous and dense preforms, the substrate should be positioned at a distance of 1.1-1.3m from the nozzle.

Uniform Droplet

Droplet deposition and solidification is vital to dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of components prepared by uniform droplet spray (UDS) forming. In this paper, a volume-of-fluid (VOF) based model was developed to study the deposition and solidification processes of a 1 mm Al-4.5%Cu droplet generated by drop-on-demand jetting. The effects of droplet falling velocity (0.6-0.8 m/s), initial temperature (933-973 K), and substrate temperature (300-473 K) were investigated. The results show that the final morphology of the deposited droplet is largely dependent on falling velocity and substrate temperature. The solidified droplet obtained from an UDS experiment validates the numerical simulation.
