## TL;DR

This study examines how different flow channel structures affect the acceleration of metal particles in a vacuum to improve centrifugal impact molding.

## Contribution

The study uniquely examines the relationship between flow channel designs and particle accelerations in a vacuum.

## Key findings

- Arc-shaped flow channels provide a more consistent acceleration process.
- Arc-shaped structures result in higher ejection speeds and improved acceleration effects.
- Six distinct runner structures were analyzed for their impact on particle velocity.

## Abstract

In this study, the impact of flow channel structures on the acceleration of metal particles in a vacuum environment is explored, with the aim of enhancinge the acceleration quality in the centrifugal impact molding of metal powders. To assess this phenomenon, three evaluation indices are introduced: the average speed of particles thrown \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Additionally, the effects of six distinct runner structures on the centrifugal acceleration of the particles are analyzed in this research. The findings indicate that the arc-shaped flow channel structure not only ensures a more consistent acceleration process but also results in a higher ejection speed, leading to an improved acceleration effect. The unique contribution of this study is the examination of the relationship between flow channel designs and particle accelerations in a vacuum.
