Mechanical properties of 3D printed CMT-WAAM 316 LSi stainless steel walls

The use of 3D printed stainless steel requires a deep knowledge of its mechanical properties. This paper presents material characterisation of 316LSi austenitic stainless-steel coupons manufactured by CMT-WAAM, considering different deposition directions. The specimens were tested according to ISO 6892-1, the fractures surfaces were examined...

A high pressure die cast magnesium alloy with superior thermal conductivity and high strength

Thermal conductivity is a key parameter for high performance material needed for electronic devices. While most commercially used Mg foundry alloys exhibit low thermal conductivities. In this work, we developed an Mg–3RE–0.5Zn alloy that is suitable for high pressure die cast (HPDC) ultrathin wall cellphone components. The thermal...
