Abstract Experimental study on laser sintering of nanosized titanium and nickel powders using a nanosecond laser is reported in this paper. Pulse laser with a wavelength of 532 nm and pulse width (FWHM) of 23 nanoseconds is used. The diameters of the metal nanoparticles are between 35 to 50 nanometers. Pulse repetition rates range between 100 and 10,000 Hz and the average power is from 1 to 20 W. The powder bed is placed on a moving stage to control the scanning velocity. Sintered metal strips with 20 mm length are formed by focusing the laser beam on the surface of… More >

Abstract A calculation model of stress field in laser additive manufacturing of walnut shell composite powder (walnut shell/Co-PES powder) was established. The DFLUX subroutine was used to implement the moveable application of a double ellipsoid heat source by considering the mechanical properties varying with temperature. The stress field was simulated by the sequential coupling method, and the experimental results were in good accordance with the simulation results. In addition, the distribution and variation of stress and strain field were obtained in the process of laser additive manufacturing of walnut shell composite powder. The displacement of laser additive manufacturing walnut shell composite… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In order to enhance the strength of sustainable walnut shell/Co-PES (WSPC) sintered parts, wax-filtrated post-treatment was carried out. The effects of treating fluid temperature, preheating time and immersion time on the bending strength of WSPC wax-filtrated parts were analyzed by single factor analysis method. To obtain an accurate model for predicting the bending strength of the WSPC wax-filtrated part, the experiments were involved by using Box-Behnken design (BBD). Main parameters, such as treating fluid temperature, preheating time and immersion time, and their interactive effects were analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) and graphical contours. The results demonstrated that all parameters’… More >
