The Study on Resolution Factors of LPBF Technology for Manufacturing Superelastic NiTi Endodontic Files.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology is a new trend in manufacturing complex geometric structures from metals. This technology allows producing topologically optimized parts for aerospace, medical and industrial sectors where a high performance-to-weight ratio is required. Commonly the feature size for such applications is higher than 300-400 microns.

Synthesis of Al-AlO-CNF Composite by Cold Spray Method: Powder Preparation and Synthesized Objects Characterization.

This paper is devoted to studying the composite material of the aluminum-alumina-carbon nanofiber (CNF) system. The paper considers in detail the process of preparation of the specified composite by ball milling, as well as the process of synthesis of a solid object (coating) by the cold spray method. The synthesized objects were studied using optical and electron microscopy, and the hardness of objects of various compositions was measured.

X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy Features of Micro- and Nanoscale Copper and Nickel Particle Compositions.

The study is devoted to X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) features of micro- and nanosized powder mixtures of copper and nickel. XRF is a high accuracy method that allows for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. However, the XRF measurement error due to the size of the studied particles is not usually taken into account, which limits the use of the method in some cases, such as analysis of Ni-Cu mixtures and coatings.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Chromium Bronze Using Recycled Powder.

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of Cu-0.5Cr was carried out using recycled powder taken out from the LPBF machine after previous printing. Various volumetric defects characterized the powder wherein particle size distribution was the same as virgin powder.

Selective Laser Melting of Al-Based Matrix Composites with AlO Reinforcement: Features and Advantages.

Aluminum matrix composites (AMC) are of great interest and importance as high-performance materials with enhanced mechanical properties. AlO is a commonly used reinforcement in AMCs fabricated by means of various technological methods, including casting and sintering. Selective laser melting (SLM) is a suitable modern method of the fabrication of net-shape fully dense parts from AMC with alumina.
