Rotary friction welding is a solid-state welding process that can manufacture high-integrity joints between similar and dissimilar materials with short weld times. However, access to expensive and complex industrial-grade friction welding machines is...
The growing production of plastic waste and its recycling, from a circular economy perspective, faces challenges in finding solutions that are easy to implement, cheap in labor and energy during recycling, and locally implementable to avoid transport...
This study addresses the emerging need for efficient and cost-effective solutions in low-volume production by exploring the mechanical performance and industrial feasibility of cutting tools that are fabricated using stereolithography apparatus (SLA)...
Design optimization through the integration of multiple functions into a single part is a highly effective strategy to reduce costs, simplify assembly, improve performance, and reduce weight. Additive manufacturing facilitates the production of compl...
Rapid prototyping has a wide range of applications across various fields, both in industry and for private use. It enables the production of individual parts in a short time, independent of supply chains, which is particularly important in remote loc...
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has grown in recent years to supplement or even replace traditional fabrication methods. Specifically, the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process has been used to manufacture components in support of sustainment issu...
This study investigates the impact of different filler wires (ER5356, ER4043, and ER4047) on the microstructural and mechanical properties of EN AW-6082 Al alloy joints produced by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Butt-welded samples with a single V...
A new method of producing metal powders for additive manufacturing by the atomization of free-falling melt streams using pulsed cross-flow gaseous shock or detonation waves is proposed. The method allows the control of shock/detonation wave intensity...
The laser-beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-LB) method enables the semi-automatic fabrication of complex three-dimensional structures, making it useful for dental prostheses. However, residual stress during fabrication can cause deformation. Herein, we app...
This overview study investigates integrating advanced manufacturing technologies, specifically metal additive manufacturing (AM) and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes, within Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 frameworks, to enhance sustainability...
