Abstract
Ti-6Al-4V components were developed in different orientations (horizontal and vertical) using an additive manufacturing technique called direct metal laser sintering and heat treated under three different procedures. Anodizing (18- 22 V) the vertically built heat treated-2 specimen yields an optimum combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance tested in an acidic environment. The anodized (18- 22 V) heat treated-1 specimen built in horizontal orientation performed better in terms of combined mechanical properties and corrosion resistance tested in ringer solution.
Abstract
REMANIT 4439 is a highly corrosion resistant steel with low carbon content, an addition of nitrogen to enhance both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and higher molybdenum than most stainless steels to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride media. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-556. Producer or source: Thyssen Stahl AG.
In this research, we intended to examine the effect of heating mode on the densification, microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of sintered aluminum alloys. The compacts were sintered in conventional (radiation-heated) and microwave (2.45 GHz, multimode) sintering furnaces followed by aging. Detailed analysis of the final sintered aluminum alloys was done using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The observations revealed that the microwave sintered sample has a relatively finer microstructure compared to its conventionally sintered counterparts. The experimental results also show that microwave sintered alloy has the best mechanical properties over conventionally sintered compacts. Similarly, the microwave sintered samples showed better corrosion resistance than conventionally sintered ones.
