Liquid Metal Atomization : Fundamentals and Practice

These proceedings from a symposium held at the 2000 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition are divided into four sections: overview and visualization; gas atomization; other atomization methods; and microstructure and industrial practice.

The scope of the book covers the fundamentals of melt atomization - such as energetics, two-fluid interactions, modelling and particle size prediction - and the practice of atomization - including commercial methods, laboratory techniques, methods specific to particular alloy systems, and methods of controlling particle size and distribution.
