Spray forming is a process in which a liquid metal is atomized into very small droplets and deposited on a substrate. These small droplets cool very rapidly in a high velocity gas jet, giving rise to smaller grain structure and improved mechanical properties. This paper presents a numerical model, based on the trajectory approach, for the velocity and thermal properties of the droplets in the jet and predicts the deposition pattern and the state of the droplets upon contact with the substrate.
