The powder spreading process and its spreadability play a crucial role in ensuring the quality of the final product and the overall production system. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues related to powder spreading and spreadability in AM, as they significantly impact production consistency, process optimisation, and manufacturing cost reduction. A clear definition of spreadability and its corresponding metrics are presented, and the difference between the spreadability and flowability is also clarified. Meanwhile, the factors influencing the spreadability and spreading process, including the powder mixture and gas atmosphere, are thoroughly reviewed. The underlying mechanisms of these factors are discussed and summarised, particularly the critical spreading speed and the shear band developed in front of the spreader. Furthermore, the defects within the spread layer are carefully classified with a summary of the corresponding causes and mechanisms, in which the importance of particle jamming is clarified. The detection of defects using machine learning and the optimisation of spreadability are also reviewed. Finally, future trends and research opportunities, such as the integration of artificial intelligence into in-situ defect detection and subsequent adjustment of spreading conditions, are highlighted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":407,"journal":{"name":"Powder Technology","volume":"449 ","pages":"Article 120393"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing approaches exhibit shortcomings, such as being prone to inaccuracies or being computationally prohibitive. Addressing these challenges, a recent innovation in closure for the method of moments is the introduction of quadrature based moments methods (QBMM). Discretising a distribution by a number of discrete elements, QBMM facilitate efficient and accurate tracking of density distributions, particularly for particle size distributions (PSD). However, obtaining the full particle size distribution information using these methods requires reconstructing the distribution from a finite set of moments, which is not a trivial step.</div><div>This study introduces a novel combination of the maximum entropy reconstruction (MER) and QBMM, establishing a robust and rapid framework for the time evolution and reconstruction of PSDs. As proof of concept for this framework, we focus on the direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) with spatially homogeneous and monovariate distributions. We show that coupling of MER with DQMOM has numerous advantages. To verify the framework, special cases of constant growth, aggregation, and breakage are considered for which analytical solutions can be found. Furthermore, we show the advantage of using DQMOM with volume-based over length-based distributions, and address numerical as well as theoretical issues.</div><div>Application of the framework is successfully conducted on the evolution of the PSD from a twin-screw wet granulation dataset, considering all active primary physical mechanisms in a wet granulation process, namely growth, aggregation, and breakage.

This DEM-FEM model links the microscopic interaction mechanisms to macroscopic phenomena such as strain localization and failure. A cohesive contact model was first utilized to simulate compaction bands in the DEM and construct a cohesive assembly with smaller particles distributed around a larger particle to better simulate the grinding and angular breakage of coral sand. A representative volume element (RVE) that includes particle breakage was then constructed and analyzed under periodic boundary conditions. DEM analysis was performed, and the results were compared with triaxial compression test data obtained from the literature, demonstrating that the constructed RVE effectively represents the mechanical properties of coral sand. The constructed RVE was used for hierarchical multiscale simulations, which showed good agreement with existing triaxial testing of coral sand. Finally, by setting a larger cohesive force, the constructed coral sand particles were prevented from breakage, and comparative analysis revealed that particle breakage weakens the mechanical properties of coral sand. Furthermore, different shapes of coral sand particles were constructed, and RVE and hierarchical multiscale simulations of triaxial tests were performed. The results indicated that the triaxial tests of long strip-shaped coral sand particles exhibit higher peak values compared to spherical coral sand particles.

Sandblasting was used to control the particle size and produce glass beads and plates with different surface roughness. First, by measuring the advancing and receding contact angles of droplets on different rough surfaces, we analyzed the effects of surface roughness on wettability and hysteresis. Next, we used a custom-made liquid-bridge stretching device to measure the capillary forces of the liquid bridges between spherical particles with different surface roughness values. A charge-coupled device camera acquisition system was set up to capture the morphological changes of the liquid bridge during stretching, and Image View software was used to extract the morphological parameters of the liquid bridge. Theoretically, we reasonably simplified and solved the differential equations for the liquid bridge morphology and used the Young–Laplace equation to calculate the theoretical capillary force of the liquid bridge, providing an in-depth analysis of the influence of surface roughness on the capillary force. Finally, we studied the impact of surface roughness on the volume ratio of the liquid bridge during static stretching and the residual liquid remaining after the liquid bridge breaks. Experimental results indicated that, as the surface roughness increased, the hydrophobicity and wettability hysteresis of the solid surface also increased. The increased hydrophobicity of the surface reduces the solid-liquid contact area of the liquid bridges between the particles, making it easier to form “columnar” or “convex” liquid bridges. Additionally, the enhanced wettability hysteresis causes the solid-liquid contact boundary to lag during the stretching of the liquid bridge, resulting in a decrease in the solid-liquid contact angle. These factors directly alter the geometric shape of liquid bridges during static stretching, thereby affecting capillary forces. Meanwhile, the increase in surface roughness weakens the effect of gravity on the morphology of the liquid bridge, resulting in less liquid mass remaining on the lower sphere after the liquid bridge breaks as the surface becomes rougher.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":407,"journal":{"name":"Powder Technology","volume":"449 ","pages":"Article 120377"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
