The results show that with the increase of rotating velocity of the self-consuming electrode, the fractal dimension of the granularity distribution increases linearly, which results in the increase of the proportion of smaller powders. The change of interval between plasma gun and the self-consuming electrode has a little effect on the granularity distribution, also the fractal dimension of the granularity distribution changed a little correspondingly.展开更多

It was also indicated that along with the depth of particle surfaces, thesegregation layer of S, C and O elements are thick, and that of Ti, Cr elements are thin for largesire powders while they are in reverse for median size particles.展开更多

It was predicted from the results that the droplet velocities,droplet temperature, and fractional solidification with flight time about FGH95 superalloy droplethave been carried out based on Newtonian heat transfer formulation coupled with the classicalheterogeneous nucleation and the specific solidification process. It has been found that the dropletdynamic and thermal behavior is strongly affected by the distribution of droplet diameters, theproportion of cooling atmosphere, but is relatively unaffected by the droplet superheat.展开更多
