Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are at the forefront of technological development
in machine design as they allow the production of complex parts with high stiffness-to-weight …

The fatigue life of metals can be generally divided into three stages: crack nucleation, small
crack growth up to about 2 mm, and large crack growth up to fracture. In additively …

Abstract Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) has become popular despite the fact that PBF-prepared
components feature characteristic defects. Their performance, however, can be shifted to the …

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the cost‐effective production of complex components,
many of which are traditionally manufactured using costly subtractive processes. During …

The utility of gray cast iron in engine components remains tied to the mechanical
performance and cost. Repair and remanufacturing of castings offer economical and …

The role of defects in the fatigue strength of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured (WAAMed) Ti-
6Al-4V is analysed by means of the IBESS model, a fracture mechanics short crack growth …

In additive manufacturing, despite its several indisputable advantages, detrimental variables
to fatigue strength still remain poor surface finishing and porosities. However, because the …

The present work focuses on the modelling of the fatigue behaviour of a 316L produced by
laser powder bed fusion containing various defect populations: Lacks of fusion, corrosion …

The ultra-high power laser-MIG hybrid welding technique provides an effective method for
thick-walled components joining, but the fatigue properties of joints are rarely reported. This …
