Download or read book Light Metal Alloys Applications written by Waldemar Alfredo Monteiro and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightweight alloys have become of great importance in engineering for construction of transportation equipment. At present, the metals that serve as the base of the principal light alloys are aluminum and magnesium. One of the most important lightweight alloys are the aluminum alloys in use for several applications (structural components wrought aluminum alloys, parts and plates). However, some casting parts that have low cost of production play important role in aircraft parts. Magnesium and its alloys are among the lightest of all metals and the sixth most abundant metal on earth. Magnesium is ductile and the most machinable of all metals. Many of these light weight alloys have appropriately high strength to warrant their use for structural purposes, and as a result of their use, the total weight of transportation equipment has been considerably decreased.

Download or read book Mechanical Engineering written by Sasan Dadbakhsh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technique to produce complex three-dimensional parts through solidifying successive layers of powder materials on top of each other, from the bottom to top. The powder base nature allows the SLM to process a wide variety of materials and their mixtures and fabricate advanced and complicated composite parts. However, the SLM is a newly established process and seeks detailed scientific studies to develop new materials systems for the consumption of industry. These scientific studies are particularly important because of many issues associated with the SLM process, such as porosity, balling, delamination, thermal stress, etc, which can be varied from one material system to another. This PhD project aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing the microstructure and mechanical properties of the metallic and in-situ AI matrix composite parts made by SLM. The research starts with a preliminary study on SLM of stainless steel in order to explore the usage of SLM machine and related parameters. It illustrates the effect of part layout on the quality of products. The main research focuses on the in-situ formation ofparticulate reinforced AI matrix by using SLM of AIIFe203 powder mixture. It is a pioneering research to integrate in-situ interaction with laser melting to produce advanced AI composites. It investigates the mechanisms governing SLM assisted in-situ reaction and also the effects of various parameters such as SLM layer thickness, laser power and scanning speed as well as·the proportion ofFe203. It examines the influence of AI alloy powder and it describes the effect ofhot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-treatment. The physical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of the products are extensively assessed using various techniques. The processing windows of the process are sketched. The findings demonstrate unique microstructural features due to combined in-situ reaction and laser rapid consolidation, and contribute to provision of an in-depth scientific understanding of novel AI matrix composites by using SLM assisted in-situ processes. As part of this PhD project, industrial collaborative research has also been conducted to characterise the surface finish, metallurgical quality, process accuracy and mechanical properties of various SLM made metallic parts using AI, Ti, stainless steel, and super alloys. This part of research has generated scientific data and results for industrial applications ofmetallic fabrication using SLM.
