Magnetohydrodynamic Drop-on-Demand Droplet Formation and Coalescence

Sukhotskiy V., Karampelas I.H., Vishnoi P., Vader S., Vader Z., Vader S., Vader Z., Amiri Roodan V., Verma A., Garg G., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

In recent years there has been a meteoric rise in interest and research in the field of metal additive manufacturing in both academia and industry. Such processes represent an attractive alternative to more traditional metal [...]

Drop-on-Demand 3D Metal Printing

Karampelas I.H., Vader S., Vader Z., Vader S., Vader Z., Sukhotskiy V., Verma A., Garg G., Tong M., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

At present, most 3D metal printing applications involve metal powder sintering or melting under the influence of an external energy source such as a laser (e.g. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Direct Metal Sintering (DMLS) [...]

Advances in Magnetohydrodynamic Molten Metal Jet Printing

Vader S., Vader Z., Vader S., Vader Z., Karampelas I.H., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo (SUNY), US

At present, most metal 3D printing applications involve deposited metal powder sintering or melting under the influence of an external energy source such as a laser (e.g. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) [1] and Direct Metal [...]

Magnetohydrodynamic Liquid Metal Jet Printing

Vader S., Vader Z., Vader S., Vader Z., Karampelas I.H., Furlani E.P., SUNY-Buffalo, US

We present a novel method for drop-on-demand (DOD) printing of molten metal droplets into 3D objects. This method involves the use of heating to pre-melt a solid metal structure (e.g. rod) to form a reservoir [...]

A Fluid Dynamics Model for a Plasma Ion Acceleration System

Domingo F.S., Ramos H.J., University of the Philippines, PH

We present preliminary results of some simulations for a plasma ion acceleration system, which we plan to construct. This system tires to model the complex interactions between the multiple species of ions (about 5) used [...]
