...M. M. Basha; M. R. Sankar; T. S. R. Ch. Murthy; S. Majumdar Titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V) are emerging materials used in many engineering applications, especially aerospace, due to their strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and high specific strength. The selective laser melting (SLM...

...Wenfeng Guo; Ronghe Bai; Tianyu Guan; Yu He; Junyan Liu Self-lubricating coating has been used in industrial applications with severe conditions, such as high temperatures, vacuum, radiation, etc. In this paper, a selective laser melting of ink-printed metal nanoparticles (SLM-IP metal NPs) rapid...

...Bo Zhang; Zhen-Hua Wang Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) has a unique structure and properties. They offer a higher yield and ultimate tensile strengths but lower ductility than traditionally processed samples. SLMed Ti-6Al-4V alloys induced increased ductility...

...P. Thasleem; Basil Kuriachen; Deepak Kumar; Afzaal Ahmed; M. L. Joy Selective laser melting (SLM) is an emerging additive manufacturing (AM) technology for fabrication of complex lightweight components along with improved mechanical properties. However, the properties are highly influenced...

... varying from 0 deg to 180 deg was built by selective laser melting. Focus variation microscopy was used to measure the topography of inclined surfaces with a tilt angle of up to 132 deg. The measurement data were then analyzed to characterize the staircase effect and the particles adherent to the artifact...

...Nan Kang; Nicolas Coniglio; Yang Cao; Chunling Zhao; Mohamed El Mansori; Yu Zhao; Xin Lin; Christian Coddet In the course of the selective laser melting (SLM) process, the part is built layer by layer involving partial remelting/heating of the previous layer, called as intrinsic heat treatment...

...Y. Yang; Y. Zhu; H. Yang Selective laser melting (SLM) is a rapidly developing metal additive manufacturing technology. SLM process parameters have a direct impact on the microstructure of parts, which further affect wear behaviors. Increasing the wear resistance by tailoring process parameters...

... manufacturing selective laser melting gas (air) bearings journal bearings Gas foil bearings (GFBs) are a potential key technology for high-speed turbomachinery [ 1 , 2 ]. The two main advantages of GFBs are their compliance and low maintenance requirements. The compliance of a GFB plays an essential...

...Hongqin Ding; Peng Lu; Chao Zhang; Yi Zhu; Huayong Yang Selective laser melting (SLM) technology has a great potential to reduce size and weight of hydraulic valves. However, the tribological performance of an SLMed valve has not been studied which is crucial for the performance and reliability...
