Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used for the manufacturing of tools and dies; in
this respect, apart from the optimization of processing parameters, it is important to establish …

Abstract Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) opens new ways for the fabrication of tools with
intricate designs as well as for dies and molds repairing. However, non-equilibrium, and …

Rapidly solidified microstructures, produced by concentrated heat sources, have gained
increasing attention due to the widespread expansion of additive manufacturing techniques …

Conventional hot work tool steels with medium carbon content, fabricated by laser powder
bed fusion (L-PBF), are susceptible to cracking. To reduce this risk, as in well-established …

In this study, a combined process of hot isostatic pressing and hot rolling (HIP-rolling) is
developed to prepare high-performance powder metallurgical (PM) low alloy ultrahigh …

In the present study, the microstructural characterization and tensile deformation behaviour
of pure aluminium (Al) billet manufactured through the combination of spark plasma …

An experimental hot work tool steel with a leaner chemistry compared to the standard AISI-
H13 grade, aimed at enhanced processability, was gas atomized and processed using laser …

Niobium is recently considered one of the potential alloying elements for tool steels due to
the formation of hard and stable carbides of MC type. Its use is limited by the fact that these …

The dense WC-M2 high-speed steel matrix composites (WC-M2 HSS MMCs) with different
WC content were prepared by mechanical alloying and vacuum sintering process. Tungsten …

Arsenic materials have attracted great attention due to their unique properties. However,
research concerning iron–arsenic (Fe–As) alloys is very scarce due to the volatility of As at …
