Time Dependent Droplet Formulation Studies with Application to Net-Form Manufacturing

根据一项工程研究设备拨款，将在现有的实验能力上增加一个波浪发生器和必要的控制装置，以产生比以前更均匀的大小和速度的液滴。新的喷雾形成技术依赖于在喷嘴出口附近精确控制随时间变化的波动压力。控制液滴流的用途是在制造网形高质量精密部件时，将熔融的白色金属液滴沉积并迅速凝固形成最终形状。

Under an Engineering Research Equipment Grant, a wave generator and necessary controls will be added to an existing experimental capability which produces droplets in a stream of much greater uniformity in size and speed than previously attainable. The new spray formation technique depends on the achievement of a precisely controlled time dependent fluctuation pressure near the spray nozzle exit. The utility of the controlled droplet stream is in the manufacture of net form high quality precision components, whit molten metal droplets deposited and rapidly solidified to form the final shape.
