Metallic materials are widely used to prepare implants for both short-term and long-term use
in the human body. The performance of these implants is greatly influenced by their surface …

Surface plastic deformation methods are prevalently applied to improve the fretting fatigue
(FF) property of titanium alloys. Understanding the intrinsic relation between surface plastic …

Post-processing methods can be crucial in addressing the associated anomalies of the as-
built state of additively manufactured materials. In this study, for the first time, the effects of …

This study focuses on the role of pyramidal< c+ a> dislocations in the grain refinement
mechanism in the Ti-6Al-4V alloy with an initial {11 2¯ 0}< 10 1¯ 0> rolling texture. A large …

The effect of hydrogen charging on microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of a Ti-
4Al-2V-1Mo-1Fe alloy in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated. The results showed that …

Shot peening is widely used for improving mechanical properties especially fatigue behavior
of metallic components by inducing surface hardening, compressive residual stresses and …

H13 tool steel is often damaged by wear, erosion and thermal fatigue, and laser hybrid
additive remanufacturing is an effective method to repair damaged locations to extend their …

Thermomechanical processing (TMP) is especially crucial for metastable β titanium alloys,
which has received significant attention in the community for a long time. In this contribution …

In the cold metal transfer additive manufacturing process of Ti-6Al-4V thin wall structure,
ultrasonic peening treatment (UPT) in three directions is proposed to refine the large …

Ti6Al4V alloy was shot peened by using stainless-steel shots with different sizes (0.09–0.14
mm (S10) and 0.7–1.0 mm (S60)) for two durations (5 and 15 min) using a custom-designed …
