Author:Dada, A; Popoola, P; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Adeosun, S; Aramide, ODate:Dec 2021In an optimization study, cracks were observed in the microstructures of laser-deposited HEAs on a steel baseplate from residual stresses, thus, the optimization of crack-free microstructures was achieved by the optimization of the laser ...Read more
Author:Dada, M; Popoola, P; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Pityana, Sisa L; Adeosun, SDate:Sep 2022In this study, AlCoCrFeNi–Cu (Cu-based) and AlCoCrFeNi–Ti (Ti-based) high entropy alloys (HEAs) were fabricated using a direct blown powder technique via laser additive manufacturing on an A301 steel baseplate for aerospace applications. The ...Read more
Author:Popoola, API; Phume, L; Pityana, Sisa L; Aigbodion, VSDate:Jan 2016Ti6Al4V alloy has been widely used for medical implants due to good mechanical properties. For permanent implant applications Ti6Al4V alloy has shown to have low corrosion and wear resistance. Based on these the development of in-situ Ti6Al4V–TiB ...Read more
Author:Dada, M; Popoola, P; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Pityana, Sisa L; Adeosun, SDate:Mar 2022In this study, we investigate the influence of in situ reactive synthesis of Ti6Al4V– AlCoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloys by laser metal deposition on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the as-built alloy as opposed to the traditional ...Read more
