Development of New Procedures and Devices for Metallic Melt Disintegration using Specific Methods of Engineering Creativity

摘要

Establishing the classification criteria and performing the classification for the technical solutions is an important stage in the creative process offering a global view on the state-of-the-art and on the trends in the design of the devices for atomising molten metals with energetic fluids. The graphic individualization of the classification criteria, drawing the chart, creating the matrix of ideas, as well as the elaboration of the generalized object of the technical creation, represent important stages in the creative stream leading to new atomising procedures and devices. Among the numerous methods for elaborating powders by the disintegration of molten metals, the one using pressurized fluid jets was chosen by the author as a case study.
