We present a concept for creating patterned beds of multi-material powder particles using an array of small-scale hoppers. Using this technique, we propose that to place fine particles of multiple fluidized powders ...

A novel net shape manufacturing method known as SLSIHIP that combines the strengths ofselective laser sintering (SLS) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is presented. Direct selective laser sintering is a rapid ...

Recent research in the area of direct freeform fabrication of components via selective laser sintering/hot isostatic pressing (SLS/HIP) has focused on the processing of Alloy 625. Alloy 625 is a nickel-based superalloy ...

SLS/HIP is a hybrid direct laser fabrication method that combines the strengths of selective laser sintering (SLS) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP). SLS can produce complex shaped metal components with an integral, gas ...

This paper focuses on microstructure evolution in single-crystal alloys processed through scanning laser epitaxy (SLE); a metal powder-bed based additive manufacturing technology aimed at the creation of equiaxed, ...

This paper focuses on simulation-based optimization of the Scanning Laser Epitaxy (SLE) process applied to gas turbine hot-section components made of nickel-base superalloys. SLE creates equiaxed, directionally-solidified ...

Nickel-base superalloys develop high-temperature strength primarily due to the solid-solution-strengthening and the precipitation-strengthening mechanisms typically through cobalt/chromium and aluminum/titanium respectively. ...

Nickel-base superalloys are extensively used to produce gas turbine hot section components as these alloys offer improved creep strength and higher fatigue resistance compared to other alloys due to the presence of ...
