Author:Davoren, B; Sacks, N; Theron, MarithaDate:Nov 2021The interest in additive manufacturing and its unique applications has increased significantly over recent years. This has resulted in the need for alloys and composites to be optimized for these processes. In this study a multiphase parameter ...Read more
Author:Raji, SA; Popoola, API; Pityana, Sisa L; Popoola, OM; Raji, NK; Tlotleng, MonnammeDate:Feb 2022Gamma titanium aluminide ( -TiAl) alloys are lightweight materials with potential application for high-temperature components. But their ductility at room temperature impedes widespread production of parts via traditional processing routes. ...Read more
Author:Raji, SA; Popoola, API; Pityana, Sisa L; Monnamme, TlotlengDate:Mar 2021Intermetallics based on gamma titanium aluminide ( -TiAl) alloys are potential lightweight materials that can be used for high-temperature components. However, poor room temperature ductility hinders their full potential for producing components ...Read more
Author:Davoren, B; Sacks, N; Theron, MarithaDate:Jun 2021To assess if a WC-9.2wt%Monel 400 alloy properties could be improved using LENS, one alloy was deposited onto a heated substrate and a second alloy was subjected to laser remelting of the final deposited layer. Microstructural characterization ...Read more
