Prediction of Behaviour of Thin-Walled DED-Processed Structure: Experimental-Numerical Approach.

Additive manufacturing (AM) becomes a more and more standard process in different fields of industry. There is still only limited knowledge of the relationship between measured material data and the overall behaviour of directed energy deposition (DED)-processed complex structures. The understanding of the structural performance, including flow curves and local damage properties of additively manufactured parts by DED, becomes increasingly important.

Base Plate Preheating Effect on Microstructure of 316L Stainless Steel Single Track Deposition by Directed Energy Deposition.

The microstructural morphology in additive manufacturing (AM) has a significant influence on the building structure. High-energy concentric heat source scanning leads to rapid heating and cooling during material deposition. This results in a unique microstructure.

Numerical Simulation Development and Computational Optimization for Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing Process.

The rapid growth of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the past decade has demonstrated a significant potential in cost-effective production with a superior quality product. A numerical simulation is a steep way to learn and improve the product quality, life cycle, and production cost. To cope with the growing AM field, researchers are exploring different techniques, methods, models to simulate the AM process efficiently.

Structure and Properties of High‑Strength Ti Grade 4 Prepared by Severe Plastic Deformation and Subsequent Heat Treatment.

Severe plastic deformation represented by three passes in Conform SPD and subsequent rotary swaging was applied on Ti grade 4. This process caused extreme strengthening of material, accompanied by reduction of ductility. Mechanical properties of such material were then tuned by a suitable heat treatment.

A new class of organosuperbases, N-alkyl- and N-aryl-1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene amines: synthesis, structure, pK(BH+) measurements, and properties.

A series of stable organosuperbases, N-alkyl- and N-aryl-1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene amines, were efficiently synthesized from N,N'-dialkylthioureas and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone and their basicities were measured in acetonitrile. The derivatives with tert-alkyl groups on the imino nitrogen were found to be more basic than the tBuP(1) (pyrr) phosphazene base in acetonitrile. The origin of the high basicity of these compounds is discussed.
