Journal ArticleDOI
Changing the alloy composition of Al7075 for better processability by selective laser melting
Maria Montero Sistiaga,Raya Mertens,Bey Vrancken,Xiebin Wang,Brecht Van Hooreweder,Jean-Pierre Kruth,Jan Van Humbeeck +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Si-added Al7075 alloy was tailored by adding 4% Silicon which increased the density to 99% and significantly reduced microcracks caused by the grain refining effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the fatigue performance of porous metallic biomaterials produced by Selective Laser Melting
TL;DR: A set of post-built surface and heat treatments is presented that can be used to significantly improve the fatigue life of porous SLM-Ti6Al4V samples and a novel and efficient analytical local stress method was developed to accurately quantify the influence of the post- Built treatments on the fatigueLife.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the difference in material structure and fatigue properties of nylon specimens produced by injection molding and selective laser sintering
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of dynamic tension/compression loading on notched and unnotched nylon specimens fabricated by Injection Molding (IM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) was analyzed and described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser powder bed fusion of Hastelloy X: Effects of hot isostatic pressing and the hot cracking mechanism
Quanquan Han,Raya Mertens,Maria L. Montero-Sistiaga,Maria L. Montero-Sistiaga,Shoufeng Yang,Rossitza Setchi,Kim Vanmeensel,Brecht Van Hooreweder,Samuel Lewin Evans,Haiyang Fan +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of post-treatment hot isostatic processing (HIP) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of LPBF-fabricated Hastelloy X, with an emphasis on fatigue performance, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Fracture Toughness and Crack Propagation of Ti6Al4V Produced by Selective Laser Melting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and analyze fracture toughness and crack propagation of selective laser molten (SLM) components made from Ti6Al4V powder particles, which is a relatively new material and improves the static and dynamic behavior of cracked SLM-Ti components.
