The effect of laser remelting on the surface chemistry of Ti6al4V components fabricated by selective laser melting (2016)
Journal Article
Vaithilingam, J., Goodridge, R. D., Hague, R. J., Christie, S. D., & Edmondson, S. (2016). The effect of laser remelting on the surface chemistry of Ti6al4V components fabricated by selective laser melting. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 232, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2016.01.022

Surface remelting/skin scanning of components is generally performed during the selective laser melting (SLM) process to improve the surface quality of a part. However, the chemical effects of surface remelting are not well understood. In this study,...

Functionalisation of Ti6Al4V components fabricated using selective laser melting with a bioactive compound (2014)
Journal Article
Vaithilingam, J., Kilsby, S., Goodridge, R. D., Christie, S. D., Edmondson, S., & Hague, R. J. (2015). Functionalisation of Ti6Al4V components fabricated using selective laser melting with a bioactive compound. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 46, 52-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msec.2014.10.015

Surface modification of an implant with a biomolecule is used to improve its biocompatibility and to reduce post-implant complications. In this study, a novel approach has been used to functionalise phosphonic acid monolayers with a drug. Ti6Al4V com...

An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties (2014)
Journal Article
Ziegelmeier, S., Christou, P., Wöllecke, F., Tuck, C., Goodridge, R. D., Hague, R. J., …Wintermantel, E. (2015). An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 215, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2014.07.029

The properties of parts manufactured by laser sintering (LS) are, amongst others, influenced by the packing and flow efficiencies of the powders being processed. In particular, this study investigated the influence of the bulk and flow characteris...
