Author:Tamsaout, T; Kheloufi, K; Amara, EH; Arthur, Nana KK; Pityana, Sisa LDate:Nov 2017A theoretical approach based on a numerical simulation using experimental data is proposed as a contribution to the study of laser-based additive manufacturing by direct energy deposition (DED). The aim is to simulate the stages of layer-by-layer ...Read more
Author:Arthur, Nana KKDate:Apr 2019The laser engineered net shaping (LENS) system was used for the laser based manufacturing of a test geometry used to assess the performance of additive manufacturing systems. This system was preferred over a selective laser melting (SLM) ...Read more
Author:Willemse, MG; Siyasiya, CW; Marais, D; Venter, AM; Arthur, Nana KKDate:Feb 2023Although additive manufacturing is fast gaining traction in the industrial world as a reputable manufacturing technique to complement traditional mechanical machining, it still has problems such as porosity and residual stresses in components ...Read more
Author:Tlotleng, MonnammeDate:Feb 2019This study reports on the microstructure, phase identification and hardness property of the LENS-manufactured binary Ti-Al alloy which was achieved via laser in situ alloying. The in situ alloying method, using laser beam as an energy source, ...Read more
Author:Arthur, Nana KK; Khodja, Malika; Moller, Heinrich; Rossouw, PierreDate:Nov 2017Metallic powders are widely used as the feedstock material for many additive manufacturing processes. Titanium alloys in particular are used in aerospace construction as an attractive alternative construction material due to the superior ...Read more
