Abstract:
This work displays how apply the process analysis methodology to optimally design a powder-manufacturing prototype. The study is applied to making Sn powders what are used to making solder electrodes. The objective of this study is to know and evaluate the effects of major process variables, as gas pressure pipeline, gas volumetric flow rate and molten metal superheat, on mean particle size, an important parameter which is representative of any pulverized system. An analytical-empirical mathematical model was developed and programmed to predict mean droplet-particle size and both thermal and dynamics behaviors of particles, it was with the purpose to determine the optimal dimensions of atomizer tower, and thus saving materials and safe the product. The mathematical algorithm was compiled in TURBO PASCAL 7.0 and graphical results for both thermal and dynamics parameter variations were obtained. Ranges for process variables were established according to capacities of both gas and molten supplies. Once built the atomizer tower, an experimental design was developed and carried out; its results were compared against obtained in the simulation. Analytical and experimental results were good agreement, so the mathematical algorithm is able to simulate the atomization powder into the ranges of this study and allow the prototype optimizing to making determined product features.
