This paper aims to analyse the mechanical properties response of polylactic acid (PLA) parts manufactured through fused filament fabrication. The influence six manufacturing factors (layer height, width, fill density, layer orientation, printing velocity, and infill pattern) on flexural resistance PLA specimens is studied an L27 Taguchi experimental array. Different geometries were tested a four-point bending machine rotating machine. From first phase, optimal set parameters deriving in...
Metastable austenitic stainless steels (MASS) are widely used in various industrial applications due to their exceptional compromise between mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the of these materials can be further enhanced by surface treatments. This paper reviews treatment methodologies improve MASS, with particular attention laser The effects treatments on microstructure chemical composition thermal affected zone MASS discussed, impact material’s properties, such as...
In the last years, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has become a powerful tool not only to study surface morphology but also nanomechanics of all kind samples. this paper, applicability technique is reviewed and its basic aspects operation, advantages drawbacks using AFM probe as picoindenter (Force Spectroscopy mode, FS-AFM) are discussed. The patents concerning picoindentation measurements discussed in text special attention paid performed on hard materials ceramics, they have been thoroughly...
This article focuses on a systematic study of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in order to extensively characterize the main mechanical properties at macro-, micro- and submicrometric length scale under different stress fields. Hardness, elastic modulus, true stress–strain curves strain-hardening exponent are correlated with intrinsic α- β-phases that constitute this alloy. A characterization process followed, considering anisotropic effect both orthogonal crystallographic directions, as well determining for...
