Abstract
The effect of the deposition distance on the nature of microstructural features of a hypereutectic Al-18Si alloy, during spray deposition, was investigated. The spray forming process employed an annular convergent-divergent nozzle to create the spray of the melt. It was found that a smaller deposition distance leads to a large scale compositional inhomogeneity in the preform.
