Continuous wave laser polishing is a promising technique for post-built smoothening of rough metallic surfaces produced by additive manufacturing. In laser polishing, a laser source melts a thin surface layer and redistributes the material resulting …
Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is an emerging additive manufacturing technique for the fabrication of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V for orthopedic applications. Here, a hybrid manufacturing technique viz. EBM with Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has been …
Integral mini-channels fabricated in the metal substrate by friction stir channeling process are different from conventional mini-channels due to irregular shape, and large surface roughness. The effect of axial wall conduction on heat transfer in …
