Abstract
In the present investigation, a theoretical estimation of the percentage of spheroidization of particles has been made from basic fluid dynamic equations. Particles of different sizes were considered at different plasma gas flow rates and temperatures (input power). Particle inflight residence and melting times were calculated and using them, percentage of spheroidization was estimated. Spheroidization was found to be strongly dependent on particle size and plasma jet temperature.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
