Charged Uniform Molten Metal Droplet Spray as a Rapid Prototyping Technology

Abstract:

Uniform molten metal droplet stream from jet break-up provides potential technology for metal parts rapid prototype manufacturing. In this study an experimental device capable of producing uniform metal droplet stream has been developed. Monosize spherical powders of 180m in diameter can be obtained after cooling and solidification. Then the droplets were electrostatically charged and deflected during flight to deposit onto a revolving substrate to form a 3D metal part.
