A simple model is formulated for the analysis of the spreading and solidification processes of a molten metal droplet impinging on a solid substrate. At the first stage, the model evaluates the diameter and the radial velocity of the spreading molten metal layer at the instant from the start of impact using analytical relations. Here D and W are, respectively, the diameter and the velocity of the impinging droplet. Numerical predictions on the evolution of the spreading metal layer are obtained by using a modified splat-quench solidification model with initial conditions described at the instant The model predictions are compared with the experimental data available from the literature. A systematic parametric study is carried out to illustrate the model predictions at different impinging conditions.
