Effects of nucleation kinetics on the microstructure and surface quality of mono-sized spherical metal balls produced by capillary jet break-up

The uniform-droplet-spray (UDS) process, a controlled capillary jet breakup process, provides an ultimate means for the direct manufacturing of mono-size balls of metals and alloys in diameters ranging about 40-1000 microns. Commercialization of mono-size balls has already been realized in electroni...
