Staged thermomechanical testing of nickel superalloys produced by selective laser melting (2017)
Journal Article
Xu, Z., Hyde, C. J., Thompson, A., Leach, R. K., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., & Clare, A. T. (2017). Staged thermomechanical testing of nickel superalloys produced by selective laser melting. Materials and Design, 133, 520-527. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2017.08.009

The creep performance of additively manufactured components remains an issue before additive manufacturing can be put fully implemented. In this study, Inconel 718 two-bar specimens are produced by selective laser melting and subjected to a ‘staged’...

X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review (2017)
Journal Article
Thompson, A., McNally, D., Maskery, I., & Leach, R. K. (in press). X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review. International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 8, Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1051/ijmqe/2017015

The use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) with additive manufacture (AM) within a medical context is examined in this review. The seven AM process families and various XCT scanning techniques are explained in brief, and the use of these technologies...
