The creation of an object by selective laser melting (SLM) occurs by melting contiguous areas of a powder bed according to a corresponding digital model. It is therefore clear that the success of this metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology reli...

Commonly used small creep specimen types, such as ring and impression creep specimens, are capable of providing minimum creep strain rate data from small volumes of material. However, these test types are unable to provide the creep rupture data. In... Read More about Small two-bar specimen creep testing of Grade P91 steel at 650oC.

Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips. Presented at 4M/ICOMM2015 Conference

The dimensional accuracy of a micro-CMM is significantly affected by contamination adhered to the stylus tip during use. Contaminant particles can cause dimensional errors that are orders of magnitude greater than those reported in the literature. To...
