This paper explores a five-axis printing method designed to improve the fabrication of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs), essential for producing lightweight, complex structures in advanced manufacturing. Traditional CFRT...
Incorporating a new design combined with a thermoplastic material without having a prior process database may cause numerous defects in the molded part. Along with the initial setup cost, the scrape due to defects can add additional costs to the prod...
Utilizing additive manufacturing (AM) techniques with shape memory alloys (SMAs) like NiTi shows great promise for fabricating highly flexible and functionally superior 3D metallic structures. Compared to methods relying on powder feedstocks, wire-ba...
Gears remain a fundamental component in mechanical power transmission, with ongoing research focused on enhancing performance and sustainability. This study addresses the process of gear lightweighting, a key factor for efficiency improvements in aut...
To improve high-temperature oxidation resistance for Ti6Al4V alloy, AlxCoCrCuyFeNi (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0; y = 1.0, 0.7, 0.5, 0.3, 0, x + y = 1.0) high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings were prepared on the Ti6Al4V alloy substrate by a laser cladding...
This work introduces an end-to-end methodology, from data gathering to fault notification, for the predictive maintenance of rotary components of machine tools. This is done through fingerprint routines; that is, processes that are executed periodica...
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes, such as fused deposition modelling (FDM), have emerged as transformative technologies in pharmaceutical manufacturing, enabling the production of drug delivery systems with complex and customised geometries. The...
The impact of prior austenite grain size (PAGS) on the kinetics of austenite formation with an initial martensite microstructure was investigated in a medium-carbon, low-alloy steel. Two distinct PAGS of 117 and 330 μm, representing the range of g...
The trend of adapting powder bed fusion (PBF) for product manufacturing continues to grow as this process is highly capable of producing functional 3D components with micro-scale precision. The powder bed’s properties (e.g., powder packing, mat...
This study examines the impact of laser shock peening (LSP) on the mechanical properties, microstructural features, and elemental distribution of stainless steel 316L (SS316L) produced using wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The investigation f...
