Doctoral Dissertations

“Till now, laser metal deposition (LMD) has been developed with the capability of near-net shape high-performance metal parts fabrication, especially complicated titanium alloys, nickel alloys, and aluminum alloys. However, LMD processed parts usually do not meet end-use requirements without post treatments. In-process part quality inspection and inner features machining are impossible within a single LMD process. Hybrid additive manufacturing (HAM), which integrates additive and subtractive manufacturing in one process, has been proposed to increase the feasibility of complex parts fabrication. This dissertation aims to improve the applications of Ti-6Al-4V parts fabricated via a HAM technique. The first research topic is …
