AlSi10Mg processed by laser powder bed fusion is expected to have remarkable mechanical properties due to the dominant cellular microstructure. However, the as-processed material is often both anisotropic and containing significant residual stresses. To mitigate these problems, a retrofitted heati...

Introduction/Purpose Reversible diffusionless first-order phase transformations are a fundamental part of phase change materials and shape memory alloys [1]. Some of these materials even possess useful physical characteristics that show abrupt changes e.g. in their electrical[2] and magnetic [3]...

In this work, results of controlled detachment of (111) silicon by stress induced spalling (SIS) process, which is based on a gluing on a metallic stressor layer by an epoxy adhesive on top of a silicon substrate, are presented. It is shown that silicon foils mainly (1  ×  1) cm2 with different thic...

The field of additive manufacturing (AM) technology is advancing rapidly, with processes becoming more versatile, stable, accurate and economical at a steady pace. Advantages of AM compared to traditional manufacturing methods include the large geometrical freedom it offers to designers, combined wi...
