This research investigates the impact of shoulder-workpiece separation on the friction stir channeling of copper, comparing two distinct tool designs. One design includes a clearance between the tool shoulder and workpiece; while, the other utilizes …
The effect of energy density on different mechanical, microstructural and surface properties was examined for laser powder bed fusion of additively manufactured stainless steel 316L (AM SS316L). The energy density was varied by changing laser power …
Direct ink writing (DIW) additive manufacturing is a versatile 3D printing technique for a broad range of materials. DIW can print a variety of materials provided that the ink is well-engineered with appropriate rheological properties. DIW could be …
Composites have played a key role in revolutionizing the automobile, marine, and aerospace industries. There is a constant attempt for the development of low‐density composite materials with superior mechanical and corrosion‐resistant properties for …
Additive manufacturing of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V has significantly increased over the past few years, primarily due to its broad application over the conventional manufacturing process for complex and near net shape production. However, …
This paper is on the successful fabrication of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) using an Aluminium plate and Molybdenum powder by Friction Stir Process (FSP). The aim was to produce a superficial MMC layer on the Al plate in order to increase the …
