Electron Beam Melted Parameter Development Of Pure Tungsten & Post-Processing Hip And Heat Treatment Of Gamma Titanium Aluminide, Kurtis Isami Watanabe
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Pure tungsten is a refractory metal and has been gaining interest for the use in nuclear fusion reactors as a plasma facing material. Titanium Aluminide (TiAl) has been growing in popularity as a possibly to phase out Nickel based superalloys due to its high specific strength at elevated temperatures. These two materials suffer from poor machinability due to being brittle at room temperature. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a recently developed manufacturing method that is fundamentally different than formative or subtractive. AM is a layer-by-layer process that has the potential to manufacture metals to a near net shape. Since the AM …

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Industrial and rapid prototyping (RP) trends toward miniaturization of electronic devices containing temperature sensitive electronics and surrounding materials are calling for highly controllable, selective laser soldering technologies. Laser soldering is a non-contact technique that eliminates the risk of marring or damaging sensitive components by precisely focusing a laser beam on a solder filler alloy, leading to a fast and non-destructive electrical joint. Using the benefits of accurate and controlled heat delivery via inexpensive low power laser diodes (LPDL's) in conjunction with ever-increasing additive manufacturing capability in producing complex internal features and geometries, development and testing of a laser application system …

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Material extrusion additive manufacturing (AM) technology is one of the most commonly used technology to fabricate functional prototypes and end-use application parts with custom design. The evolution of the extrusion technology led this particular AM process to grow in many aspects such as new materials development, new design thinking, fabrication of parts in multiscale length, and manufacturing of monolithic parts with multiple functionalities. The research presented in this Dissertation results in the creation of knowledge in material extrusion AM technology with the length scale of production-grade to large-scale 3D printing machine those were used to enable the fabrication of multimaterial …
