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 ...
Intelligent nozzle design for the Laser Metal Deposition process in the Industry 4.0
(Elsevier, 2017)
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is an AM (Additive Manufacturing) process that enables to build 3D geometries or enhance the surface properties of the base material by the generation of a coating. With the aim of integrating ...
Latest Developments in Industrial Hybrid Machine Tools that Combine Additive and Subtractive Operations
(MDPI, 2018-12-18)
Hybrid machine tools combining additive and subtractive processes have arisen as a solution to increasing manufacture requirements, boosting the potentials of both technologies, while compensating and minimizing their ...
Numerical Model for Predicting Bead Geometry and Microstructure in Laser Beam Welding of Inconel 718 Sheets
(MDPI, 2018-07)
A numerical model was developed for predicting the bead geometry and microstructure in laser beam welding of 2 mm thickness Inconel 718 sheets. The experiments were carried out with a 1 kW maximum power fiber laser coupled ...
Case Study to Illustrate the Potential of Conformal Cooling Channels for Hot Stamping Dies Manufactured Using Hybrid Process of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) and Milling
(MDPI, 2018-02)
Hot stamping dies include cooling channels to treat the formed sheet. The optimum cooling channels of dies and molds should adapt to the shape and surface of the dies, so that a homogeneous temperature distribution and ...
