Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research in metal manufacturing processes has received a dramatic increase in global attention over the past decade. Advanced manufacturing requires upgraded metrology techniques, modeling from concept, manufacturing, implementation, and disposal. The entire product life cycle is included, encompassing characterization and performance in the mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological, and optical fields.

This Special Issue aims to attract outstanding research developments on the advanced manufacturing of metallic alloys for various applications ranging from biomedical to aviation. We are also keen to publish research results on reusing recycled powders during the manufacturing process. Strategic approaches to reduce the cost and time and increase the efficiency of manufacturing and that make the technology competitive with conventional molding process are also welcome.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full experimental or numerical papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Nima E. Gorji
Guest Editor

This study shows the effects of wear on welded joints of ASTM A355 Gr. P11 “Seamless Ferritic Alloy-Steel Pipe for High Temperature Service” steels subjected to the welding procedures established by codes B31.1 and ASME III. The standard welding procedure establishes the following steps: a preheating process, welding and post-weld heat treatment. This generates a wear behavior that depends on the thermal cycles to which the different areas of the joint are subjected. The objective of this article was the study of the behavior against the flow-accelerated corrosion of the welded joints of a low alloy steel. There is the possibility of establishing welding procedures other than those established, while maintaining the safety ranges, depending on the field of application for the steel. Full article

High-throughput screenings are established evaluation methods in the development of functional materials and pharmaceutical active ingredients. The transfer of this approach to the development of structural materials requires extensive adaptations. In addition to the investigation of new test procedures for the determination of material properties and the treatment of metallic materials, the design of experiments is a research focus. Based on given descriptor target values, the statistical design of experiments determines investigations and treatments for the investigation of these materials. In this context, process parameters also have to be determined, as these have a major influence on the later material properties, especially during the treatment of samples. In this article, a method is presented which determines the process parameters iteratively. The validation of the calculated process parameters takes place based on differential scanning calorimetry used as the furnace for the heat treatment of small batches and particle-oriented peening as the characterization method.

A deterministic figuring method for cylindrical surface based on abrasive belt polishing is proposed in this study in order to improve the geometric accuracy of metal shaft parts. The principal motion of material removal is performed through the axial oscillation of the abrasive belt, and the different material removal at different positions can be obtained through servo control of the machine tool spindle by removing high error spots on the cylindrical surface and finally deterministically corrects the roundness error. An abrasive belt-based deterministic figuring device was built, and the figuring experiments were performed on the surface of steel workpieces 100 mm in diameter and 130 mm in effective length. The roundness errors of the entire workpiece after twice figuring iterations decreased nearly from the initial 3 μm to 1 μm, which preliminary verified the feasibility of this method. This deterministic figuring method is expected to break the machining accuracy limit and improve the rotation precision of the precision shaft parts such as the aerostatic spindle. Full article
