OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Drop-on-demand drop generators allow the reproducible generation of single droplets. They are thus a flexible scientific tool for basic investigations also on metallic droplets.
Our experimental setup enables the generation of metallic droplets at temperatures up to 1650 °C and maximum drop distances of up to 6.5 m. In this setup, we have implemented various generic model experiments, which allow us, for example, to carry out investigations for the development and validation of cooling models and the in-situ determination of thermodynamic material properties such as surface tension and liquid density. Solidified microspheres can be characterized in a variety of ways, enabling a high-throughput approach to the search for new structural materials.
