Metal Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM) of Zn (already assigned to a student)
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a layer-by-layer manufacturing process where powder or wire is fused to form a part. This process typically uses energy-intensive means to fuse feedstock, leading to stochastic defect formation and high energy consumption. For Zn-based alloys, those commonly used AM technologies lead to elemental evaporation, due to the Zn low boiling (…)
Static magnetic field influence on 3D printed Al-Cu alloys microstructure: a synchrotron tomography analysis (already assigned to a student)
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process where powder, wire or filament is fused layer by layer to form a part. A new metal AM technology, named Metal Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM), is currently under development at the LMM. In this process, aluminium wire is fed through a nozzle and melted in order to produce a (…)
Parametric study of induction sintering iron
Induction sintering is an advanced powder metallurgy technique that utilizes electromagnetic induction to generate heat directly within conductive materials. The induced eddy currents not only heat the material through Joule-effect and magnetic hystersis, but also help to break down fine oxide barriers between touching particles through local discharges. Compared to conventional furnace sintering, induction sintering (…)
