Additive manufacturing (AM) is an attractive processing route to make efficient use of rare-earth elements (REE) in systems containing complex-shaped (RE) based magnets. Powder bed fusion using laser beam (PBF-LB) one the most promising technologies obtain fully dense AM parts and has seen significant recent research efforts. However, works commercial Nd-Fe-B powders with a composition more suited for binder methods, which reduces parameter window does not allow property enhancement by...
We study the use of topology optimization in design low-loss ferromagnetic core structures for additively manufactured electrical machines. The test case was a simple toroid with primary and secondary winding. A 2D axisymmetric finite element method model implemented toroid, optimized minimum losses maximum flux linkage. then modified additive manufacturing, samples were built via laser powder bed fusion. B-H characteristics measured several operation points. compared against an solid core,...

Nitrogen alloyed austenitic nickel-free stainless steel (ANFSS) is one of the most promising group materials for consumer and healthcare products. They can be used to substitute not only conventional AISI 316L, but also more expensive titanium Co-Cr alloys. Previously utilization nitrogen has been limited due poor machinability resulting from high strength ductility, difficulties in manufacturing raw materials. Recent developments powder metallurgy, example, additive (AM), offer feasible net...
Abstract Nearly all commercially available alloys have been developed for manufacturing processes other than additive manufacturing. Most of those are not suitable laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) processing due to the non-weldable nature casting, forging, and machining. Even some weldable can be difficult produce with L-PBF because characteristics L-PBF, such as highly concentrated heat input extremely high cooling rate, lead very residual stresses cracking. In order speed up development...
All Finnish males must attend compulsory military service that lasts from 6 months to 1 year. About 25 000 (approximately 80% of each age cohort) and 400 volunteer females complete the annually. The aim study was investigate types dental trauma occurring among conscripts during their service. article also focused on how is treated in Defence Forces.All records Forces' patient register concerning years 2011 2012 were analysed by tooth number, treatment procedures number visits.According...
Laser powder bed fusion is an additive manufacturing method that based on melting and solidification of material.

Nitrogen-alloyed austenitic nickel-free stainless steels (ANFSS) are known for their good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, stable non-magnetic nature. As long as the nitrogen content remains within certain limits, increasing generally improves all said properties. However, if is increased up to a too high level, ductile-to-brittle transition may take place. The optimal level determined by other alloying elements that can have role in stabilizing austenite solubility melt...

Tool steels are martensitic alloyed with carbide forming elements, thus having high strength, hardness and wear resistance. These characteristics, however, make them costly materials to shape into complex geometries. Laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) enables the consolidation of near-net-shape shapes from powders, which is a highly resource efficient way producing tools. However, processing tool PBF-LB problematic due hardening segregation generated during process leading stresses eventually...
