Electricity is an efficient form of energy, and the growing interest in electricity-assisted
manufacturing is motivated by its inherent energy saving and reduced environmental impact …

Droplet solidification has received much attention over the last two decades due its
relevance in natural processes as well as engineering applications. Study of droplet …

The literature reviewed in this paper on rapid solidification processing techniques for
discontinuously-reinforced metal matrix composites presents a cross-section of techniques …

In the present study, deformation, interaction and freezing during substrate impact of molten
droplets in plasma spray processes are numerically investigated. The numerical simulation …

Sand crosion tests were performed on WC CoCand WC CoCr coatings deposited by the
high velocity oxy-fuel spraying method. Several analytical techniques, including X-ray …

The unique properties of coatings created by thermal spray deposition depend on the rapid
solidification of individual splats created by im**ing molten droplets. However, the impact …

This paper discusses, compares, and contrasts the major rapid solidification techniques
presently available. A table and flow chart are included to permit rapid comparison of the …

Different mechanisms for the development of substrate-coating adhesion during thermal
spraying are considered. The most important is mechanical interlocking formed chiefly due …

The processing of nanomaterials and nanocomposites has advanced since the 1990s. The
growth and opportunities afforded by this technological domain is evident through the trends …
