Damping of flexure blades based on bi-material additive manufacturing

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Nicolas Blondiaux, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Elias Sebastian Klauser, Florent Alexandre Boudoire, Nikola Kalentics, Lisa Salamin

Flexure-based mechanisms have become state-of-the-art solutions for the design of high-precision mechanisms, free from friction wear, backlash, and lubrication. These properties which are necessary for applications in ultraclean or harsh environments, neve ...

Bragg edge tomography characterization of additively manufactured 316L steel

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Efthymios Polatidis, Markus Strobl, Nikola Kalentics

In this work we perform a neutron Bragg edge tomography of stainless steel 316L additive manufacturing samples, one as built via standard laser powder bed fusion, and one using the novel three-dimensional (3D) laser shock peening technique. First, we consi ...

3D laser shock peening as a way to improve geometrical accuracy in selective laser melting

Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics, Andreas Burn, Michael Cloots

One of the major drawbacks of selective laser melting (SLM) is the accumulation of tensile residual stresses (TRS) in the surface and subsurface zones of produced parts which can lead to cracking, delamination, geometrical distortions, and a decrease in fa ...
