This article is focused on the effect of position on a build platform on the hardness, roughness and corrosion rate of parts (Ti6Al4V) produced by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology. During the sintering process, the test samples were located at key positions—at the corners and in the middle of the build platform. An experimental program started with a microstructure investigation in two perpendicular directions in individual positions. The selected mechanical property—hardness—was investigated on metallographic cuts in both directions and all positions, and data sets underwent a statistical analysis (analysis of variance (ANOVA), t-test, F-test). The same procedure was repeated for an assessment of position effect to surface roughness (Kruskal–Wallis test) and material corrosion resistance. On the build platform, the course of hardness, roughness, and corrosion rate values that can be expected in individual positions was mapped in detail.

Cobalt-chromium alloy (F-90) and duplex stainless steel (DSS-2205) belong to the family of metallic biomaterials, which are frequently used for the manufacture of dental prosthetics, artificial implants including knee and hip joints. This article addresses the investigation highlights of electrical discharge machining (EDM) of Co-Cr alloy and duplex stainless steel using different electrode materials for the evaluation of optimum machining parameters. The samples with superior machining performance and surface integrity were analyzed by electrochemical corrosion testing and found that the EDM treated samples portrayed a notable improvement in the corrosion resistance compared to bare metal. Our results demonstrated that both the substrates i.e. Co-Cr alloy and DSS-2205 were dominantly affected by the intensity of the applied current, and participated in the material removal rate with a contribution of 93.81% (23.37 mm3/min., Co-Cr alloy) and 87.32% (39.76 mm3/min., DSS-2205) respectively. However, the surface roughness of the machined Co-Cr alloy (1.080 µm) was majorly influenced by the current (contribution: 67.24%) and electrode (contribution: 28.27%). Whereas, pulse-on (contribution: 58.37%) and electrode (contribution: 30.52%) were significant for the surface roughness (1.150 µm) of the machined DSS-2205. Moreover, the machined surface also demonstrates the porosity (∼3 to ∼5 µm) and formation of intermetallic oxides, carbon phases on the samples machined at a higher value of current i.e. 16 Ampere. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer were used to scrutinize the surface topography and compositional analysis of the machined substrates. The alternation of the substrate surface observed helpful in enhancing the corrosion resistance of Co-Cr alloy and duplex stainless steel by 80.88% (corrosion rate: 0.00029 mm/year) and 96% (corrosion rate: 0.00763 mm/year), comparative to their respective untreated samples.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of current density on the surface roughness and corrosion performance of electrodeposited Co–Ni–Fe-coated mild steel. Process variables are the key factor in controlling the electrodeposition process. It is important to study the processing parameter to optimize the mechanical and corrosion resistance performance of the coating substrate. Design/methodology/approach A low-cost electrodeposition method was used to the synthesize Co–Ni–Fe coating on the mild steel substrate. In the electrodeposition, electrochemistry concept was applied. The temperature of the process was controlled at 50 ± 5°C in an acidic environment. The influence of current density (11, 22 and 33 mA/cm2) and deposition time (15, 20 and 30 min) toward the surface roughness, hardness and corrosion rate was investigated. Findings The increases of time deposition and current density have improved the microhardness and corrosion resistance of Co–Ni–Fe-coated mild steel. The Co–Ni–Fe nanoparticles deposited at 30 min and current density of 33 mA/cm2 experienced the smallest surface roughness value (Ra). The same sample also obtained the highest Vickers microhardness of 122.6 HV and the lowest corrosion rate. This may be due to the homogenous and complete protection coating performed on the mild steel. Practical implications The findings from the study are important for future application of Co–Ni–Fe on the mild steel parts such as fasteners, car body panels, metal chains, wire ropes, engine parts, bicycle rims, nails and screws and various outdoor uses. The improvement of corrosion resistance using optimum electrodeposition parameters is essential for these applications to prolong the life span of the parts. Originality/value A new process which pertains to fabrication of Co–Ni–Fe as a protective coating on mild steel was proposed. The Co–Ni–Fe coating can enhance the corrosion protection and thus prolong the lifespan of the mild steel parts.

S30408 austenitic stainless steel was treated by using hawking processing which is a type of ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP). The effects of USRP parameters on surface roughness, surface hardness and corrosion resistance were investigated. Compared with the untreated specimen, the surface roughness and surface hardness is decreased by 87%, the surface hardness is increased by 51% and the corrosion rate reduces after USRP. The surface roughness decreases obviously as the step-size decreases, while the step-size has little effect on the surface hardness and corrosion resistance.

Aluminum has mechanical properties such as light, easy to form, and the ability to conduct heat and electricity, but has less corrosion resistance properties. One effort to improve corrosion resistance in aluminum is by electrodeposition method. The electrodeposition process was carried out with a variation of time 10, 20, and 30 minutes and variations in voltage of 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V using AA 1100. The electrolyte used was a mixture of acetic acid and chitosan. Coating thickness measurement was carried out using NOVOTEST TP-1M coating thickness gauge, the corrosion rate was measured with 128N Autolab PGSTAT Potentiodynamic and surface roughness measurements using Mitutoyo SJ-210 Surface Roughness Tester. Based on the research data, it was found that the results of optimum layer thickness were obtained at 10 Volt variation of 20 minutes at 11 μm ± 0.04%. Specimens without treatment had the highest corrosion rate of 0.25541 mpy while the lowest corrosion rate was in the 10 variations of 20 minutes which produced 0.0078935 mpy. The surface roughness data of the specimen without treatment was 1.034 μm. The results of the smallest surface roughness were obtained at 10 V 20 minutes variation of 0.725 μm, while the largest surface roughness results in a variation of 15 V 30 minutes which was 2.529 μm. In this stud, it is known that the higher the time and stress used in the electrodeposition process results in greater corrosion rates, because it produces a higher layer thickness but results in higher surface roughness as well.

OxCal is a widely used software package for the calibration of radiocarbon dates and the statistical analysis of 14C and other chronological information. The program aims to make statistical methods easily available to researchers and students working in a range of different disciplines. This paper will look at the recent and planned developments of the package. The recent additions to the statistical methods are primarily aimed at providing more robust models, in particular through model averaging for deposition models and through different multiphase models. The paper will look at how these new models have been implemented and explore the implications for researchers who might benefit from their use. In addition, a new approach to the evaluation of marine reservoir offsets will be presented. As the quantity and complexity of chronological data increase, it is also important to have efficient methods for the visualization of such extensive data sets and methods for the presentation of spatial and geographical data embedded within planned future versions of OxCal will also be discussed.
