TL;DR: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a breaking edge fabrication technique with the possibility of changing the perception of design and manufacturing as a whole as mentioned in this paper, which is well suitable for the building and repairing applications in the aerospace industry which usually requires high level of accuracy and customization of parts which usually employ materials known to pose difficulties in fabrication such as titanium alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the integrity of MIG welded AA1100 reinforced with copper powder at the weld zone was ascertained through tensile testing, microhardness profiling and microstructural investigation via the scanning electron microscope, the energy-dispersive spectroscopy and optical microscope, followed by corrosion test by electrochemical polarization method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of titanium, and titanium boride composite through laser cladding of addictive manufacturing is discussed. And the wear volume and wear rate are calculated, and a correlation and relationship between the wear properties, surface roughness and composition are examined.

TL;DR: A 3 kW continuous wave ytterbium laser system (YLS) attached to a KUKA robot which controlled the movement of the alloying process was utilized for the fabrication of the coatings at optimum laser parameters as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This study investigated the metallurgical, mechanical properties and quality of coatings fabricated by direct laser metal deposition (DLMD) on Ti-6Al-4V, which were affected by the DLMD optimized process parameters.
