The thermal monitoring of additive manufacturing techniques implementing high-power
energy sources is essential to ensure process quality. Although the number of research …

Abstract Direct Laser Deposition has been considered as a method to repair and rebuild the
industrial parts. Considering the possibility of the formation of structural defects due to the …

In this study, the effect of phase, microstructure, and porosity in Selective Laser Melting
(SLM) on hardness, tensile, and fracture behavior of 17-4 PH was investigated. The …

This paper is the second part of a work focused on optimizing the performance of
conventional Laser Metal Deposition (C-LMD) process for Inconel 718 (IN718). In Part I …

The present study investigates the effects of welding procedure parameters on
microstructure and mechanical properties through pinless friction stir welding (PFSW) for …

This paper provided a critical analysis of the factors influencing sand particle wear on
standalone screens, with a particular emphasis on characterising sand particles and …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of Stellite 6 alloy using laser-directed energy deposition (L-
DED) technology was explored. The impact of argon and nitrogen as the shielding gas …

The performance of the additive manufactured of 17–4 PH stainless steel parts is driven by
microstructure properties. The microstructure profile is affected by the thermal history of the …

The in-service welding process is widely used to repair defective gas pipelines, which
allows the damaged section to be repaired without interrupting gas flow. In this way …

As a severe plastic deformation process, equal-channel angular rolling (ECAR), which is
based on equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), can be used to develop fine-grain …
