electrospray metals

Group,



Anyone here can comment on use of ceramic or saphire nozzles/inserts for powder metallurgy castings? The application of the metal is in casting high speed turbines. The metal alloy is 718 and 720. I'm told that ceramics have "pull-outs" that get incorporated into the melt and once cast can be a source of failure due to crack propogation. Thanks,

Boer, sorry coudn't catch where you need to use of ceramic nozzle - for powder metallurgy (?) or for casting. Clarify, please. Nick "boer" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????: news: snipped-for-privacy@adelphia.com...

Casting molten metal alloy into powder less than 40um particle size. The experiments are to determine whether the cost of sieving can be eliminated.

You mean nozzle for prelinimary cleaving ( splitting) of the liquid metal spurt before atomizing? I used the green carbon silicide nozzle, for liquid steel preliminary disintegration ( more 1600°C). But elektrospraying? I think you need the capacity more that 1 farade. How?

eliminated.

I'm still interested on the ceramics issue. Original post on alloy and ceramic inclusions as the cause of crack generation. To answer your question, "how" we use high voltages (>)100KV with mA currents. Nozzle orifices from 50micron to 5mm in understanding issues of charge induction vs. charge injection.
