Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... Read More
In this paper, a numerical study is conducted on the melting and solidification process of metal foam/paraffin wax with cyclic heating and cooling. A mathematical model based on the Brinkman-Frochheimer extended Darcy equation and the local thermal non-equilibrium model (LTNE) is ... Read More
Laser cutting process is usually employed in machining process, however it is also applied for dismantling nuclear facilities. Contrary to mechanical processes where tools wear out quickly and are often renewed, laser cutting process is a contactless approach, therefore there is no ... Read More
The process-induced deformation in the DED fabricated part is a critical issue to the scaling of the technology. Currently, an inefficient and expensive experiment trial-and-error approach is utilized to tackle this issue, however it is not feasible for large parts. Researchers have ... Read More
Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, where a laser beam creates a melt pool, into which powder is fed from a powder nozzle. Due to the feed motion of the laser beam and the powder nozzle relative to the workpiece, coatings and 3D parts can be deposited, which consist of ... Read More
In this paper, we present a study of the simulation of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) using a multiphysics approach. We use a combination of Heat Transfer in Fluids, Solid Mechanics and Laminar Flow physics to accurately simulate the DED process. The ... Read More
Additive manufacturing processes are increasingly used for designing metallic parts with complex geometries. The current needs are focused on the manufacturing of large-scale parts, typically of meter range. However, for such dimensions, the traditional trial-and-error methodology used ... Read More
