Modelling the shape and thermal dynamics of Ni superalloy rings during spray forming Part 1: Shape modelling - Droplet deposition, splashing and redeposition

A numerical model has been developed to simulate the dynamic shape evolution of Ni superalloy rings during spray forming. The model comprises: (1) a droplet primary deposition model, simulating droplet primary deposition at a deposition surface; (2) a droplet splashing model, simulating the droplet...
