The Exploration of Microstructure in a Space
Jim Gander: I think the work that you and Larry Rose and Twig and Scott Smith did in like the 2010s on the suspension spray is a good example of how just being playful in a space can come up with new microstructure. And this was when we started looking at suspension spray. We had some insights that we might make better and denser cracked structures, more vertical cracks. But what by doing a design of experiments, opening up this space on some of the key variableslike this distance between your torch and your workpiece, the focus of spray cell were able to spray in a regime where instead of getting these were cracks, all of a sudden at a certain size of
