Influence of Elastomer Layers in the Quality of Aluminum Parts on Finishing Operations
(MDPI, 2020-02-22)
In finishing processes, the quality of aluminum parts is mostly influenced by static and dynamic phenomena. Different solutions have been studied toward a stable milling process attainment. However, the improvements obtained ...
Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Hardness of Ni-Based Alloy 718 in a Variable Thickness Geometry Deposited by Powder Fed Directed Energy Deposition
(MDPI, 2022)
Feature addition to existing parts is a trending application for Directed Energy Deposition (DED) and can be used to add complex geometry features to basic forged geometries with the aim to reduce and simplify the number ...
Laser Dissimilar Joining of Al7075T6 with Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polyamide Composite
(MDPI, 2020-01-22)
Dissimilar joining between metal and composite sheets is usually carried out by mechanical or adhesive joining. Laser dissimilar joining between metal and composite sheets could be an alternative to these methods, as it ...
Influence of induction hardening residual stresses on rolling contact fatigue lifetime
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] Rolling contact fatigue is a unique mode of fatigue that components under cyclic contact loading experience. In this work, the impact of induction hardening residual stresses in rolling contact fatigue lifetime is ...

Vibrations Characterization in Milling of low Stiffness Parts with a Rubber-Based Vacuum Fixture
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Fixtures are a critical element in machining operations as they are the interface between the part and the machine. These components are responsible for the precise part location on the machine table and for the proper ...
Abrasive Disc Performance in Dry-Cutting of Medium-Carbon Steel
(2020-04-19)
Abrasive-cutting processes are widely used to obtain semi-finished products from metal bars, slabs, or tubes. Thus, the abrasive cutting-off process is applied when requiring precision cutting and productivity at a moderate ...
Analysis of the Part Distortions for Inconel 718 SLM: A Case Study on the NIST Test Artifact
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
The present paper evaluates the misalignment and geometry distortion of the standard National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test artifact in Inconel 718 alloy, when several layers with and without supports ...
Analysis of the influence of L-PBF porosity on the mechanical behavior of AlSi10Mg by XRCT-based FEM
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
This work aims to present an XRCT-based FEM methodology to assess the influence of porosity defects on the mechanical behavior and failure of L-PBF AlSi10Mg components. Hence, the influence of defects on performance is ...
Study of the flexural behaviour and bonding strength of WC-Co metal matrix composite coatings produced by Laser Directed Energy Deposition
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
Surface coatings enable more durable and sustainable solutions to face the degradation of the functional surfaces of high-added-value components. Particularly, metal matrix composites (MMC) are known to mitigate friction ...
