This study systematically compares the surface polishing performance and finishing results of the following two different electrolytic plasma polishing technologies on stainless steel AISI 316L: (i) plasma electrolytic polishing (PEP) and (ii) plasma...

Processing high-performance aluminum alloys, including 6xxx and 7xxx series, via laser additive manufacturing (AM) processes poses significant challenges, primarily due to the rapid cooling rates inherent in these processes, which often result in sol...

With the development of robotic welding automation, there is a strong interest in welding seam identification and localization methods with high accuracy, real-time performance, and robustness. This paper proposed a 3D workpiece weld identification a...

Freeform carbon fibres were 3D-printed from CH3OH:H2O mixtures using hyperbaric-pressure laser chemical vapour deposition (HP-LCVD). The experiment overlapped a region of known diamond growth, with the objective of depositing diamond-like carbon with...

The present study introduces an integrated software approach that provides an automated product design toolkit for customized products like knives, incorporating topology optimization (TO) and numerical simulations in order to streamline engineering...

Industries operating in extreme conditions demand materials with exceptional strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and formability. While AA5052 alloy is widely used in such industries due to its high fatigue strength and corrosion resi...

The P91 martensitic steel and 304L austenitic stainless steels are two mainly used structural steels in power plants. The major problem in conventional multipass tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of P91/304L steel is high heat input and joint distorti...

Recently, there has been much scholarly research on the applications of CNTs in various fields which can be attributed to their outstanding properties. For that matter, machining processes as the backbone of manufacturing technologies have also benef...

In Laser Powder Bed Fusion, process material defects such as a lack of fusion, powder inclusions and cavities occur repeatedly by chance. These stochastically distributed defects can significantly reduce the mechanical performance of the components d...

In this work, the effect of high-entropy alloy powder preparation on the coatings deposited via high-velocity oxygen fuel sprayings was studied. The powders of FeNiCoCrMo0.5Al1.3 composition were prepared by milling and gas atomization. The structure...
