Author:Horak, E; Komba, Julius J; Maina, J; Sebaaly, H; Muller, JDate:Mar 2022Contiguous aggregates are aggregate sizes that consecutively follow a typical aggregate grading curve. Porosity calculation is possible for a binary or longer ranges of contiguous aggregates. Porosity is a fundamental density indicator and ...Read more
Author:Erinosho, MF; Akinlabi, ET; Pityana, Sisa LDate:2016In laser metal deposition (LMD), good bonding between two similar or dissimilar materials can be achieved if the interrelationships between the processing parameters are well understood. LMD was conducted by varying the scanning speed and ...Read more
Author:Mathoho, Ipfi; Akinlabi, ET; Arthur, Nana KK; Tlotleng, Monnamme; Makoana, Nkutwane WDate:Feb 202017-4 PH stainless steel has proven to be one of the workhorse materials in industries such as aerospace, chemical, and energy. The attraction of this alloy to the aforementioned industries is derived from the fact that 17-4 PH stainless steel ...Read more
Author:Mathoho, I; Akinlabi, ET; Arthur, Nana KK; Tlotleng, MonnammeDate:Aug 2020This study investigated the influence direct energy deposition (DED) process parameters have on the metallurgical characteristics (porosity, microstructural evolution, microhardness, and corrosion behavior) of 17−4 PH stainless steel powder. ...Read more
Author:Molobi, E; Sacks, N; Theron, MarithaDate:Oct 2021The influence of z-increment on profile, porosity and microstructure of WC-10wt%FeCr single walls deposited using direct energy deposition was studied. Traverse speeds of 3.2 and 6.4 mm/s were used, while laser power was varied at 200, 300 ...Read more
Author:Mathoho, Ipfi; Arthur, Nana KK; Tlotleng, MonnammeDate:Feb 2023The current study embarked on developing the H950 aging condition for 17-4 PH stainless steel that was manufactured through the DED process. The driving force for carrying out this study was that, when the H950 condition was applied to 17-4 ...Read more
Author:Makoana, Nkutwane W; Moller, Heinrich; Louw, Danie; Yadroitsev, IDate:Sep 2017High laser powers of up to 1500W were used to additively manufacture 17-4PH samples. Porosity was measured using the image analysis technique, and all samples are fairly dense with a maximum of 0.42 percent porosity.Read more
