This review discusses the feasibility of using microstructure-and defect-sensitive models to
predict the fatigue behavior of additively generated materials through a non-exclusive …

During deformation of aluminum (Al) alloys, there are three kinds of voids being formed by
distinct mechanisms, ie, matrix-cracking voids (MCVs), particle-cracking voids (PCVs), and …

Titanium is promising for manufacturing high-performance components in aerospace,
marine, energy and healthcare. Whether the forming potential of alpha titanium can be …

Grain boundaries (GBs) of metallic materials will become the weakest and most vulnerable
place when the materials deform at high temperature. This could directly affect deformation …

In the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), the grains grow in preferential directions depending
on the scanning strategies, which results in layer-by-layer builds of particular …

For the establishment of reliable micro/meso scale forming processes, it is essential to
accurately predict the forming limits of metal foils under different deformation paths …

Size effects (SEs) impede the mass production of high-performance miniaturised
components via micro-forming. Although many studies have examined SEs from multiple …

Weight reduction and advanced cooling schemes to improve aircraft engine efficiency drive
the design of turbine blades toward thin-walled structures. The decrease of wall thickness …

Multi-stage microforming is increasingly used in manufacturing of the miniaturized parts with
complex structures and geometries. Optimization design of this type of manufacturing …

Multi-stage micro-scale deformation-based processing of ultra-thin metallic sheets has been
widely used in the manufacturing of light-weight parts with complicated structures. Because …
