Influence of a static magnetic field on the microstructure of 3D printed Al-Cu alloys by synchrotron tomography analysis (already assigned)
Additive manufacturing for metals is a manufacturing process where powder, wire or filament is deposited or fused layer by layer to form a finished part. A new additive manufacturing technology is currently under development at LMM in which aluminium wire is fed through a nozzle and melted in order to produce a liquid stream which (…)
Influence of a static magnetic field on the solidification of cast Al-Si alloys (already assigned)
Casting is a manufacturing process in which liquid metal is poured into a mold where it solidifies. The application during the casting process of a magnetic field which interacts with the thermoelectrical current generated by the temperature gradient along dendrites produces electromagnetic forces that alter convection patterns in the melt. As a function of the (…)
Processing and tensile testing of steel based manganese-silicate reinforced metal-matrix composites
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) consist of two or more immiscible, physically and chemically very different phases, while the dominant phase is a metal. The combination of a metallic matrix with and reinforcement phases can, depending on the system at hand, lead to several advantageous properties in comparison with conventional alloys, such as increased stiffness, lower (…)
