Thirty years ago, Nowotny published a review article in this journal'summarizing some of the
work that he and his coworkers had carried out during the sixties on the syntheses of a large …

Selective laser melting (SLM), as a new production route, was applied to prepare
nanocrystalline TiC-reinforced Ti matrix nanocomposites. The microstructural and …

AlSi40 functionally graded materials (FGMs) were produced by a one-step laser cladding
process on cast Al-alloy substrate as a possible solution for interfacial problems often …

Laser engineered net sha** has been used to create a Ti–SiC composite layer on Ti to
improve its wear resistance. The influences of laser power and scanning speed on the …

The microstructure of a TiB/Ti composite coating, obtained by laser cladding a Ti–6Al–4V
substrate with a Ti/TiB2 powder mixture, was scrutinized using transmission electron …

The laser melt injection (LMI) process has been explored to create a metal–matrix composite
consisting of 80 μm sized WC particles embedded in a Ti–6Al–4V alloy. In particular the …

Transition metal silicides and carbides are attractive advanced materials possessing unique
combinations of physical and mechanical properties. However, conventional synthesis of …

A novel Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process was applied to prepare bulk-form TiC/Ti5Si3
in-situ composites starting from Ti/SiC powder system. The influence of the applied laser …

Sound friction-stir processed layers were fabricated on a commercially pure titanium
substrate with or without introduction of nano-sized SiC powder to the stir zone under an …

Titanium alloys exhibit high specific strength and stiffness that fit structural applications
