➢ Powder blends of Ti, Al and B are first cold-isostatically pressed at a pressure of 200
Mpa
➢ By continuous feeding of cold metal into a zone of rapid heat injection (thermal
spray process)
Fabrication of MMC
➢ The Osprey Process converts a stream of molten metal into a particulate spray by
gas atomisation,
https://www.open.edu
Fabrication of MMC
➢ The atomisation gas is generated from a cryogenic source of liquid argon and liquid
nitrogen, which is vaporised and passes through a control system before entry into
the atomiser.
➢ The gases also act as a protective atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the spray
droplets.
➢ An integral part of the preforming unit is the preforming mechanism to which the
preform collector is attached.
Fabrication of MMC
➢ This is driven by means of a hydraulic power pack, which is programmed to
perform a sequence of movements under the spray so as to produce the desired
shape of preform on the collector surface.
➢ 10 kg can be spray-deposited within 20 s.
➢ Capacity of plant ranges from 30 kg to 450 kg.
➢ Size of plant; 4 m long x 2 m wide x 2 m high.
➢ 450 kg roll preforms can be produced. The majority of preforms require
subsequent deformation by extrusion, hot rolling or forging
Fabrication of MMC
➢ Cu-10%Sn bronze preforms with grain sizes of <0.0015 mm can be hot worked
without cracking.
➢ High temperature nickel- and cobalt-based superalloy aero engine components are
difficult to produce by conventional casting and forging techniques.
Fabrication of MMC
➢ Conventional hot working possible in alloys such as Nimonic 115 and Mar M002.
➢ Extensively used for depositing metallic and ceramic coatings for different purpose
.
➢ Plasma spray forming (PSF) is the modified technique for the architecture of wide
range of alloys, inter-metallics, ceramics, composites and functional gradient
Fabrication of MMC
➢ During the transition from a liquid state at high temperatures, to solid material at
room or ambient temperature.
Processing of MMC
➢ The rapid extraction of heat can cause undercooling as high as 100 °C or more
prior to the initiation of solidification.
➢ This is in direct comparison to the few degrees obtained for the case of
conventional casting about 1 °C or less per second.
➢ For a process to be considered in the RS regime, the cooling rate would have to be
of the order greater than 104 K/s
Processing of MMC
second-phases
Processing of MMC
➢ The spray methods that involve fragmentation or atomization of a melt stream into
droplets;
➢ Casting of a melt stream (chill methods usually, but not always, involving
stabilization rather than fragmentation of a melt stream);
➢ In situ melting and rapid solidification that takes place at the surface of the heat
sink, which can be the same material as that being rapidly solidified.
