Abstract 18Ni300-based cladding layers with micro/nano WC additives were fabricated via
plasma transferred arc welding (PTA) technology. This work investigates the influence of WC …

Laser melting injection (LMI) with SiC particles can strengthen fusion zone of metal alloy.
How to improve the distribution uniformity of SiC particles are critical. In this work, a novel …

An advanced particle distribution controlling approach is proposed for laser melt injection
process, which applies an electric-magnetic compound field to assist the laser melt injection …

In order to overcome weld joint softening of aluminum alloy, laser melting injection (LMI)
methodology with 6H-SiC particles (SiC p) and 6061 aluminum alloy was introduced. In this …

Sheet metal forming normally requires the application of lubricants to protect the tool and the
sheet against wear. In the case of nonlubricated sheet metal forming, cleaning processes …

Surfaces of machine parts or tools are subjected to corrosive stresses or wear. To increase
the wear resistance of surfaces, metal matrix composite (MMC) can be applied. For higher …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) offers new possibilities in part manufacturing and
many of these are of big interest for the tool-and die industry. Besides structural optimisation …

Ni35 coatings were fabricated on 45 steel using a CO2 laser at various parameters. A
relatively large spot (10 mm diameter) was adopted, which was beneficial to the coating …

For the first time, metal matrix composite (MMC) layers on parts made of highly conductive
copper alloys have been generated by laser melt injection (LMI). In order to ensure a …

Highly conductive copper alloys are used for several tools in casting and welding
technology. In order to improve the poor wear resistance of these alloys, metal matrix …
