The ability of a metal to be subjected forming processes depends mainly on its plastic behavior and, thus, the mechanical properties belonging this region stress–strain curve. Forming techniques are among most widespread metalworking procedures in manufacturing, and aluminum alloys great interest fields as diverse aerospace sector or food industry. A precise characterization is crucial estimate...

The microstructure, mechanical properties, and deformation behavior of wrought electron beam additive manufactured (EBAM) Ti-6Al-4V samples under scratching were studied. As-received was subjected to thermal treatment obtain the with microstructure characteristics similar those EBAM samples. As a result, both alloys consisted colonies ? phase laths within prior ? grains characterized by close v...

Abstract Investment casting has long been known as a process that can produce complex parts with fine details. However, it not used widely for need to be anodized and whose nonuniform color is affected by the type of cast aluminum. Although 6063 aluminum in anodizing decoration purposes, almost entirely wrought. Some studies have aluminum, but no investment reported. The objective this work dev...

Abstract Metal additive manufacturing provides a path to optimized component design with significant realized advantages in the medical and aerospace industries. Limitations expansion other industries, e.g. automotive, enabling supply chain relief is limited number of materials available ability produce material on demand. Current powder feedstock produced at large, remote atomization facilitie...

Within ongoing work, Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is demonstrating that copper coatings can be developed as viable corrosion barriers for used fuel nuclear containers, emplaced in a deep geological repository. As a means of assessing container design and feasibility, coated samples, manufactured via cold spray and electrodeposition have been produced and characterised. ...
