Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The atomisation of advanced and reactive metals, such as titanium alloys, is an important area of research. Early spray-forming trials at the IRC in Materials show considerable promise, but have also highlighted the problem of maintaining cleanliness of the melt when pouring from the crucible to the atomisation chamber. We propose to model, build and test on electromagnetic means of pouring which is non-contact and so ensures cleanliness of the melt. In addition, the valve will provide modulation of the flow and minimise lateral movement of the jet, features which are essential for successful spray-forming.
