Droplet Formation in Atomization of Melts

Most commercial and near-commercial atomization processes for liquid metals/alloys involve two-fluid atomization or centrifugal atomization. As suggested by many experimental observations, two-fluid atomization of liquid metals is typically a three-stage process, 3IX 3 yl whereas centrifugal atomization may occur in three different regimes.[5][320] Many atomization modes and mechanisms for normal liquids may be adopted or directly employed to account 

Droplet Formation in Gas Atomization. Experimental and modeling studiesl160 161 169] 318] 319] 321]- 325] have shown that gas atomization of liquid metals in spray forming and powder metallurgy processes may take place in two primary modes, i.e., liquid jet-ligament breakup and liquid film-sheet breakup.
