A particle image velocimetry investigation of in-flight and deposition behaviour of steel droplets during electric arc sprayforming

Gas and Fe-0.8 wt.% C droplet dynamics during electric arc spraying have been characterised using particle image velocimetry (PIV). This study has shown that the flow of N-2 atomising gas was well-collimated, with an exit velocity of 255 m s(-1), decaying to 75 m s(-1) at an axial distance of 150 ru...
