Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of the temperature distribution during field assisted sintering
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the current density and temperature distribution in the punch-die-sample set-up during field activated sintering (FAST), also known as spark plasma or pulsed electric current sinterings, was modelled by finite element calculations supported by in situ measured electrical and thermal input data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of selective laser melting process parameters on texture evolution in pure copper
Suraj Dinkar Jadhav,Sasan Dadbakhsh,Louca Raphaël Goossens,Jean-Pierre Kruth,J. Van Humbeeck,Kim Vanmeensel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different laser scan parameters such as hatch spacing, laser power and scan speed on the texture evolution in the manufactured parts is determined, which shows that the texture at the top surface can be very strong especially when a high-laser power and low scanning speed is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective laser melting of tungsten and tungsten alloys
Aljaž Iveković,Neda Omidvari,Bey Vrancken,Karel Lietaert,Lore Thijs,Kim Vanmeensel,Jef Vleugels,Jean-Pierre Kruth +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the SLM processing parameters on the melting and solidification behavior of tungsten and alloys was investigated, and the best results were obtained with a high energy density of the laser and lowest oxygen level in build chamber of the ProX® DMP 320, where the optimal processing conditions resulted in closed porosity.
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
Microstructure and mechanical properties of Hastelloy X produced by HP-SLM (high power selective laser melting)
Maria L. Montero-Sistiaga,Maria L. Montero-Sistiaga,Saeid Pourbabak,Saeid Pourbabak,Jan Van Humbeeck,Dominique Schryvers,Kim Vanmeensel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the microstructure and tensile properties of Hastelloy X built with low and high power lasers and found that the use of a high power laser results in wider and shallower melt pools inducing an enhanced morphological and crystallographic texture along the building direction.
