... Electrodeposition Energy Powder metallurgy and melt infiltration are the most common techniques for producing metallic matrix composites (MMCs). A common feature of these techniques is high‐processing temperature which is a major cause for high production costs, poor mechanical properties and high...

... components were fabricated on SL apparatus and roughened by chemical treatments. And then metal‐coated SL components of the airfoil model were created by ED technique. After assembling, a hybrid pressure airfoil model was obtained. Findings Electrodeposited nickel coating has dramatically improved...

... Electrodeposition Rapid prototypes Ceramics Layered manufacturing (LM) is an evolution of rapid prototyping (RP) techniques where the part is built in layers. While most of the previous technologies focused on building “prototypes” many recent approaches, including the current project, try to achieve...
