Abstract Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) has become popular despite the fact that PBF-prepared
components feature characteristic defects. Their performance, however, can be shifted to the …

Among the several metal additive manufacturing technologies, direct energy deposition
(DED) is an innovative way to fabricate near-net-shaped parts and is also applicable to …

Rotary swaging is an industrially applicable intensive plastic deformation method. Due to its
versatility, it is popular, especially in the automotive industry. Similar to the well-known …

This paper deals with a study of additively manufactured (by the Selective Laser Melting,
SLM, method) and conventionally produced AISI 316L stainless steel and their comparison …

Copper generally exhibits high electrical conductivity but has poor mechanical properties.
Although alloying can improve the latter characteristic, it usually leads to a decrease in …

Commercially pure Cu features excellent electric conductivity but low mechanical properties.
In order to improve the mechanical properties of Cu, strengthening elements can be added …

Designing a composite, possibly strengthened by a dispersion of (fine) oxides, is a favorable
way to improve the mechanical characteristics of Cu while maintaining its advantageous …
