...Dongyang Cao; Daniel Bouzolin; Christopher Paniagua; Hongbing Lu; D.Todd Griffith Purpose Herein, the authors report the effects of printing parameters, joining method, and annealing conditions on the structural performance of fusion-joined short-beam sections produced by additive manufacturing...

...Bhanupratap Gaur; Samrat Sagar; Chetana M. Suryawanshi; Nishant Tikekar; Rupesh Ghyar; Ravi Bhallamudi Purpose Ti6Al4V alloy patient-customized implants (PCI) are often fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and annealed to enhance the microstructural, physical and mechanical properties...

... to strengthen these sockets. This study aims to evaluate annealing as a potential method to improve material properties by a heat treatment of the object after 3D printing. Design/methodology/approach Four different annealing methods and a control group were tested according to ISO standard 527–1 and ISO...

...Alper Ekinci; Xiaoxiao Han; Andrew Gleadall; Andrew Allan Johnson Purpose This paper aims to establish an appropriate annealing method, which is necessary for shape stability and to evaluate their potential degradation performance of 1-, 3- and 5-layer material extruded polylactic-acid specimens...

...Isaac Ferreira; Carolina Melo; Rui Neto; Margarida Machado; Jorge Lino Alves; Sacha Mould Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the mechanical performance of FFF parts when subjected to post processing thermal treatment. Therefore, a study of the annealing treatment...

...Saad Waqar; Jiangwei Liu; Qidong Sun; Kai Guo; Jie Sun Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of different post-annealing cooling conditions, i.e. furnace cooling (heat treatment (HT) 1 – slow cooling) and air cooling (HT 2 – fast cooling), on the microstructure and mechanical...

... Three post-treatment processes, annealing at 650°C, 920°C and HIP were adopted. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of selective lasering melted Ti6Al4V lattice structures after post-treatment were systematically investigated by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope...

..., the optimum conditions for processing and post-processing of different materials are yet to be determined. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of printing temperature, pattern and annealing conditions on tensile strength and modulus of samples printed with polylactic acid (PLA). Design...
