Titanium matrix composites produced by electro-sinter-forging
This project is a collaboration between our laboratory and EPoS Technologies SA,https://www.eposintering.com/a company located in Switzerland, which has developed a novel field assisted sintering process called Electro-sinter-forging (ESF), by means of which unique metal matrix composite structures can be produced. We explore ESF process capabilities for the production of titanium matrix composites. This comprises the (…)
Structure et propriétés micromécaniques des inclusions d’oxyde dans les alliages ferreux
Dans ce projet, nous visons à étudier les propriétés mécaniques des inclusions d’oxyde dans une matrice à base de fer, ainsi que les caractéristiques de l’interface inclusion-matrice. Les inclusions d’oxyde sont présentes dans l’acier en conséquence directe de son processus de fabrication et il est bien connu que leur présence et leurs caractéristiques peuvent exercer (…)
Harnessing Melt Pool Dynamics in Additive Manufacturing
Most of the additive manufacturing processes that are used nowadays to fabricate metallic materials solidify the material onto itself from within a small travelling molten metal pool that is produced by means of a high energy source such as a laser, an electron beam or a plasma. The high intensity of those energy sources gives (…)
