Spray Simulation: Modeling and Numerical Simulation of Sprayforming Metals

Sprayforming 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.
