Multiscale modeling in thermal materials processing

Multiscale Modeling of Polymeric Materials

Review of Project Objectives: Our overall objective for the three-year duration of this project is to design an adaptive, learning, simulation technique for polymers covering the range from atoms to coarsegrained chains, and apply the technique to the description of nanofilled polymers. Accomplishing this objective requires four activities, with the first two corresponding to the first two proj...

Multiscale Modeling of Hvof Thermal Spray Process

The major physicochemical processes involved in an industrial HVOF thermal spray process (Diamond Jet hybrid gun, Sulzer Metco, Westbury, NY) are studied by a comprehensive multiscale model. The model includes continuum type differential equations that describe the dynamics of gas phase and particles of different sizes, and a rule-based stochastic simulator that predicts the evolution of coatin...

Rapid thermal processing of magnetic materials

The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles provide an approach for the deliberate construction of materials structure via ...
