Abstract

An investigation is conducted of the time evolution of the splat thickness, radius, and rate characteristics in the process of flattening of composites (agglomerated) powder particles at smooth and rough surfaces during thermal spraying. Considerations include the splat solidification, droplet mass loss, solid volume fraction, and variations of splat- surface friction and splat solidification velocity due to the presence of the solid phase. Effective values of the droplet viscosity, impact velocity, and Reynolds number taking into account characteristic features of the flattening process are introduced, and analytical formulas describing the final values of the splat thickness, radius, and rate characteristics are established. Results can be used to predict the splat flattening parameters.
