In this report, we investigate the infusion of carbon dioxide into a 3D-printable photosensitive polymer. The result is a carbonated polymer composite material. In use, polymer composite materials expect to succeed where ordinary polymers and metals...
Nickel–titanium (NiTi) is a shape-memory alloy, a type of material whose name is derived from its ability to recover its original shape upon heating to a certain temperature. NiTi falls under the umbrella of metallic materials, offering high su...
The automotive industry is interested in manufacturing components with tailored mechanical properties. To this end, advanced heating treatments can be exploited to obtain the so-called Tailored Heat-Treated Blanks (THTB). However, mechanical properti...
Hot working tool steels (HWTS) are popular for industrial applications such as injection molding tools, and casting dies because of their high wear resistance, fatigue, strength, and toughness properties, even at elevated temperatures. Conventionally...
Achieving right-first-time-manufacture (RFTM) of co-infused textile assemblies is challenging, without improving the accessibility to design knowledge of trade-offs between different tooling and infusion strategies. As demonstrated in previous work,...
The activities within a European network to develop accurate experimental and numerical methods to assess residual stresses in structural weldments are reported. The NeT Task Group 6 or NeT-TG6 project examined an Alloy 600 plate containing a three-p...
The present work deals with powder metallurgical processing of Sn-reinforced Al-Cu-Fe icosahedral quasicrystalline (IQC) composites processed through mechanical milling (MM) followed by hot pressing and pressureless sintering. The structure, microstr...
Nowadays, in the domain of production logistics, one of the most complex planning processes is the accurate forecasting of production and assembly efficiency. In industrial companies, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most common us...
Ti-6Al-4V titanium is considered a difficult-to-cut material used in critical applications in the aerospace industry requiring high reliability levels. An appropriate selection of cutting conditions can improve the machinability of this alloy and the...
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a widely used additive manufacturing process that can produce parts from thermoplastics. Its ease of operation and wide variety of materials make it a popular choice for manufacturing. To leverage such benefits, th...
