Phase Studies of Additively Manufactured Near Beta Titanium Alloy-Ti55511

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati

The effect of electron-beam melting (EBM) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes on the chemical composition, phase composition, density, microstructure, and microhardness of as-built Ti55511 blocks were evaluated and compared. The work also aimed to ...

Modelling Workflow for Segmented Timber Shells using Wood-wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Petras Vestartas

This paper presents a modelling method based on planarization for double-curved segmented timber shell made from quad polygons and assembled by wood-wood connections. The inspiration is taken from timber dome structures, where solid timber walls were built ...

In situ characterization of a high work hardening Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Karl Alan Sofinowski, Nicola Casati

A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...

In Situ Deformation Studies of HCP Metal Alloys with Neutron Diffraction, X-Ray Diffraction, and High Resolution Digital Image Correlation

Karl Alan Sofinowski

Mg and Ti alloys are attractive materials for structural applications in the transportation and biomedical industries due to their high strength-to-weight ratios. However, due to their hexagonally close-packed (HCP) lattice structure, they exhibit poor for ...

In situ characterization of work hardening and springback in grade 2 alpha-titanium under tensile load

Helena Van Swygenhoven

Plastic effects during sheet metal forming can lead to undesirable distortions in formed components. Here, the three-stage work hardening and plastic strain recovery ("springback") in a cold-rolled, alpha-phase commercially pure titanium is examined. Inter ...

Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the heat treated FeCrCuMnNi high entropy alloy

Roland Logé, Ali Shabani

As cast FeCrCuMnNi high entropy alloys were heat treated at different temperatures and times. Structure and mechanical properties of the heat treated alloy were studied using X-Ray diffraction, tensile test, hardness test and scanning electron microscopy. ...

Optimisation of Current and Pulse Duration in Electric Discharge Drilling of D2 Steel Using Graphite Electrode

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is one of the viable techniques for machining of D2 steel, in which the material removal occurs by spark erosion. The poor selection of EDM parameters affect the machining quality and productivity. Considering this, the p ...
