Optimizing AM process parameters for Stronger & Sustainable Ni-Ti alloy 3D Printing

Avinash Borgaonkar (Post-doctoral research fellow, Dublin City University)

The study optimizes 3D printing of NiTi SMA using L-PBF by varying laser scan speed, layer thickness, and hatch spacing. Tests on density, hardness, surface, and energy use assess sample quality.

How to Build a Better Metal Sandwich: Reinventing Metals from the Inside Out

Ajai Sankar (PhD Researcher, University College Dublin)

Delve into a novel manufacturing approach that employs a shell-core structure with internal lattices and the transformative potential of integrating nanomaterials into titanium to create composites with enhanced mechanical and functional properties. Gain insights into how advanced characterization techniques are used to analyse the microstructure and properties of these composites.
