Professor Singer at the Swansea University first developed the idea of gas atomised spray forming in the 1970s in which a high pressure gas jet impinges on a stable melt stream to cause atomisation. The resulting droplets are then collected on a target, which can be manipulated within the spray and used to form a near-dense billet of near-net shape.
Professor Singer at Swansea University initially conceived gas atomised spray forming in the 1970s, where a high-pressure gas jet collides with a stable liquid stream to induce atomisation. The resulting droplets are then gathered on a target, which can be adjusted within the spray and utilized to create a nearly dense billet of near-net shape.
