... bearings or plain bearings. The last ones are usually made of self-lubricating materials, which may not excel in mechanical properties. An interesting alternative lies in bimetallic brass bearings, like bronze-steel combinations. However, they are limited in terms of available shapes and sizes due...

... behaviour of MEX Steel 316L parts. Design/methodology/approach Two groups of dog-bone and rectangular-shape specimens were produced with the BASF Ultrafuse Steel 316L metal filament. The length, width and thickness of the specimens were measured pre- and post-debinding and sintering to calculate...

... represents the conditions closest to the service conditions of a load-bearing machine element, was chosen for the study. In this study, the rotational bending fatigue behavior of X3NiCoMoTi18-9–5 (MS1) maraging steel specimens produced by the selective laser melting (SLM) technique was experimentally...

... © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2013 Surface properties of materials Steel Surface roughness measurement Selective laser melting Besides SLM, other techniques based on additive manufacturing are: stereolithography (SLA) with its derivatives ink‐jet printing (IPJ) and 3D...

...Phani Vallabhajosyula; David L. Bourell Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to achieve successful infiltration of indirect selective laser sintered steel components with ferrous alloys and thereby to produce fully ferrous components with desirable properties while...

... 2011 Mechanical properties of materials Surface properties of materials Particle size measurement Steel Test samples for the measurement of the scan surface quality were produced using the processing parameters according to Table II . Two layer thicknesses t_Layer...

... using a laser beam which was scanned in a predefined pattern using a galvo‐mirror scan head. Findings Experiments performed with AISI H13 steel show that the tower nozzle powder delivery strategy is suitable for SFF processing. Practical implications Both powder delivery and laser consolidation...

...Constance Ziemian; Ronald Ziemian; Eric Barker Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the correlation between the dynamic behavior of a full‐scale steel prototype and a small‐scale plastic model fabricated using fused deposition modeling (FDM). Design/methodology/approach Based...

... on the H13 steel microstructural properties. This paper describes the EBM process and presents results of microstructural analyses on H13 tool steel processed via EBM. Electron beam melting (EBM) is a relatively new direct‐metal freeform fabrication process that has been commercialized by Arcam...
