The difficulty of obtaining a densely packed granular material as an initial condition is a very common problem in numerical simulations of granular materials. In this article, an Imaginary Coating Algorithm (ICA) is introduced. To avoid unreasonable...

This study investigates the relationship between metallic powders and their flowability behavior (captured in terms of Hall flow rates using Hall flowmeters). Due to the many trait dependencies of powder flowability, which have made the formulation o...

Spiral jet mills used for fine and colloid grinding have an enormously high energy consumption resulting in a great potential for optimization. In order to increase their efficiency, it is essential to precisely understand the flow conditions within...

Cold gas dynamic spray (CS) is a unique technique for depositing material using high-strain-rate solid-state deformation. A major challenge for this technique is its dependence on the powder’s properties, and another is the lack of standards fo...

Electric fields have been used in the manufacturing of powders in a number of ways, including to enhance drying rates and retain heat-sensitive materials. Electrohydrodynamic drying and electrostatic spray drying use electric fields to accelerate the...

Powder breakage during pneumatic conveying negatively affects the properties of dairy products and causes increased dusting, reduced wettability, and decreased product performance. In particular, particle breakage is a serious issue for fat-filled mi...

The internal microstructure of a tablet, such as pore geometry and pore volume, impacts the tablet’s disintegration kinetics. Ideally, one could design the microstructure to control dissolution onset and therapeutical performance of immediate-r...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

Selective laser sintering (SLS) with polymers is currently in transition to the production of functional components. Nevertheless, the potential to revolutionize conventional production processes is confronted by newly imposed requirements regarding...

The current investigation shows the feasibility of 316L steel powder production via three different argon gas atomisation routes (closed coupled atomisation, free fall atomisation with and without hot gas), along with subsequent sample production by...
