Also known as spray deposition, spray forming is a manufacturing process that involves coating a workpiece with semi-solid particles of metal. It’s designed to create a protective coating over the surface of the workpiece, thereby protecting it from rust, corrosion and other forms of degradation. Once applied, the semi-solid particles naturally distribute themselves evenly across the workpiece. The particles then cool and harden to form a protective barrier. Of course, that’s just the basics of spray forming. To learn more about this advanced manufacturing process, keep reading.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray forming begins with the heating of an alloy. The alloy is melted in a furnace of induction oven. Next, the newly molten metal is poured through a tundish connected to a nozzle that’s able to blast the workpiece with the semi-solid particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Spray Forming Is Performed
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note that spray forming uses very<\/em> small particles of metal. Each droplet of semi-solid metal measures just 10 to 500 microns in diameter. With the help of atomized gas, these particles are able to quickly project across the surface of a workpiece. The gas essentially breaks up the droplets into smaller pieces while simultaneously projecting them onto the workpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Spray Forming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When compared to powder metallurgy, spray forming offers several meaningful benefits for manufacturing companies. For starters, it supports a wide variety of materials. Traditional powder metallurgy is limited to a select few types of materials. As a result, manufacturing companies can’t perform powder metallurgy on all their workpieces. Spray forming, on the other hand, is a more versatile process that supports a wider variety of materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray forming can also be used on workpieces in a variety of shapes. Some manufacturing companies use this process to create strips, for example, whereas others use spray forming to create tubes or rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably, the greatest benefit of spray forming is its ability to protect the workpiece from degradation. After the semi-solid metal particles have cooled, they’ll form a hard and solid shell over the workpiece. Even if the workpiece is made of non-weatherproof material, the presence of the newly formed metal shell should protect it from rust and corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it’s a relatively new manufacturing process, spray forming has become increasingly common in recent years. It offers an effective, low-cost ways to protect workpieces from rust, corrosion and other forms of degradation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
