Preliminary characterization of the microstructure of Al/SiCp composites prepared by Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) was analyzed, and the microhardness and wear behavior of the materials manufactured have been evaluated. It has been determined that the combined effect of the laser speed and power is decisive for the fabrication process. The microstructure characterization shows that the presence of hygroscopic Al4C3 can be avoided by adding Ti to the composite matrix. The wear behavior of the LMD samples and their microhardness have been compared with Powder Metallurgy samples with the same composition. The LMD samples showed higher hardness and wear resistance.

ABSTRACTMechanically polished Ti6Al4V samples were implanted with 100 key nitrogen ions to a fluence of 5.1017 ions/cm2 at two different bulk tenneratures: 370°C and 470°C. Wear tests were carried out with a reciprocating slidina tribotester. Structural modifications and wear morphologies were studied by TEM and SEM. 370°C implanted sample showed the same wear behavior as unimplanted ones, while 470°C implanted sample showed better wear resistance because of a TiN hardened layer. Correlations- between microstructural modifications, wear behavior and mechanisms are reported: results agree with the delamination theory. Comparison with ion- and gas-nitrided samples are presented.

The use of the Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology as a manufacturing and repairing technique in industrial sectors like the die and mold and aerospace is increasing within the last decades. Research carried out in the field of LMD process situates argon as the most usual inert gas, followed by nitrogen. Some leading companies have started to use helium and argon as carrier and shielding gas, respectively. There is therefore a pressing need to know how the use of different gases may affect the LMD process due there being a lack of knowledge with regard to gas mixtures. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the influence of a mixture of argon and helium on the LMD process by analyzing single tracks of deposited material. For this purpose, special attention is paid to the melt pool temperature, as well as to the characterization of the deposited clads. The increment of helium concentration in the gases of the LMD processes based on argon will have three effects. The first one is a slight reduction of the height of the clads. Second, an increase of the temperature of the melt pool. Last, smaller wet angles are obtained for higher helium concentrations.

The micro-hardness and compression of recycling aluminum alloy AA6061 were investigated as a function of the different microstructure and constituent powder metallurgy method. Five specimens were selected to investigate the compression strength and microhardness. The first, as fabricated specimen (as compacted), the second was as heat treated by quenching and aging process. Three specimens were mixed with Graphite particles as a reinforcement material. Compression strength values were tested for the specimens as fabricated and heat treated which were 195 and 300 MPa, respectively. The improvement ratio was 52% for the specimen as heat treated. On the other hand, high wear resistance was given by the specimen as heat treated, whereas, the lower wear strength was at the specimen mixed with 4.5% Graphite. These results were attributed to that the wear resistance related to the microhardness value.

Direct laser metal deposition (DLMD) is an innovative additive technology becoming of key importance in the field of repairing applications for industrial and aeronautical components. The performance of the repaired components is highly related to the intrinsic presence of defects, such as cracks, porosity, excess of dilution or debonding between clad and substrate. Usually, the quality of depositions is evaluated through destructive tests and microstructural analysis. Clearly, such methodologies are inapplicable in-process or on repaired components. The proposed work aims to evaluate the capability of ultrasonic techniques to perform the mechanical characterization of additive manufactured (AM) components. The tested specimens were manufactured by DLMD using a nickel-based superalloy deposited on an AISI 304 substrate. Ultrasonic goniometric immersion tests were performed in order to mechanical characterize the substrate and the new material obtained by AM process, consisting of the substrate and the deposition. Furthermore, the relationship was evaluated between the acoustic and the mechanical properties of the AM components and the deposition process parameters and the geometrical characteristics of multiclad depositions, respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed non-destructive experimental approach for the characterization of the created deposition anomalies has been investigated.
