Influence of the fusion state of particles during slat formation on an oxidized substrate

Achieving a good coating through thermal spray process involves understanding the mechanisms connected to the slat formation. The main objective of this paper is to analyze how the substrate is affected by the thickness of the oxide layer. The next thing to think about is how melting aluminum particles will react with an oxidized substrate. To this end, the fluid structure interaction technique (IFS), the finite element method and the volume of fluid method (VOF) are used to simulate the deposition of particles (molten or semi-molten) onto the part to be covered. The findings reveal that the percentage of the fusion state present in the particle acts directly on the morphology of the splat.
