25 Nov 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a method for manufacturing metal structures in which minute drops of a liquid metal are emitted from an acoustic device through an inert gas was proposed, where droplets are then emitted towards a substrate, which may form as a carrier, where they may be used to form solder bumps, circuit traces, or accreted to form a three dimensional device.
Abstract: A method for manufacturing metal structures in which minute drops of a liquid metal are emitted from an acoustic device through an inert gas. The presence of the inert gas at the surface of the liquid metal prevent the formation of an oxide skin which would absorb acoustic energy and hinder droplet formation and emission. The droplets are then emitted towards a substrate, which may form as a carrier, where they may be used to form solder bumps, circuit traces, or accreted to form a three dimensional device.

TL;DR: LiSoR as mentioned in this paper is a liquid metal loop that will use PSI's 72 MeV Philips cyclotron to irradiate stressed steel specimens in contact with flowing lead-bismuth with 50 μA proton beam.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of tensile tests were carried out in a cell where the specimens were immersed in static lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) liquid and showed that at high temperature the steel in contact with the liquid metal had a slight decrease of yield and UTS value and a marked increase in the elongation to rupture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented qualitative and quantitative characterization of two-phase liquid metal flows agitated by the stirrer on rotating permanent magnets, which may have different rates of solid particle entrapment from the liquid surface and their homogenization.
Abstract: This paper presents qualitative and quantitative characterization of two-phase liquid metal flows agitated by the stirrer on rotating permanent magnets. The stirrer was designed to fulfill various eddy flows, which may have different rates of solid particle entrapment from the liquid surface and their homogenization. The flow was characterized by visualization of the tailored tracer particles by means of dynamic neutron radiography, an experimental method well suited for liquid metal flows due to low opacity of some metals for neutrons. The rather high temporal resolution of the image acquisition (32 Hz image acquisition rate) allows for the quantitative investigation of the flows up to 30 cm/s using neutron particle image velocimetry. In situ visualization of the two-phase liquid metal flow is also demonstrated.
