Measurement of powder spreading dynamics in additive manufacturing (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Ferris, S., Thompson, A., Maskery, I., Hall, S., & Piano, S. (2023). Measurement of powder spreading dynamics in additive manufacturing.

In this work, we examine the effect of the state of the pre-processing powder bed in powder-based additive manufacturing, particularly in metal laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB). The spreading of the powder layer has been identified as a critical but... Read More about Measurement of powder spreading dynamics in additive manufacturing.

Defect evolution in laser powder bed fusion additive manufactured components during thermo-mechanical testing (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Xu, Z., Hyde, C. J., Thompson, A., Leach, R. K., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., & Clare, A. T. (2017). Defect evolution in laser powder bed fusion additive manufactured components during thermo-mechanical testing.

The mechanical performance of additively manufactured (AM) components remains an issue, limiting the implementation of AM technologies. In this work, a new method is presented, to examine the evolution of defects in an Inconel 718 two-bar test specim...

Design of mechanically-optimised lattice structures for vibration isolation (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Syam, W. P., Jianwei, W., Zhao, B., Maskery, I., & Leach, R. K. (2017). Design of mechanically-optimised lattice structures for vibration isolation.

In this study, we investigate the use of additively manufactured strut-based lattice structures to enhance the mechanical vibration isolation properties of a structure. Three lattice designs, inspired by the common strut-based lattice structures, are... Read More about Design of mechanically-optimised lattice structures for vibration isolation.

X-ray computed tomography of additively manufactured metal parts: the effect of magnification and reconstruction sampling on surface topography measurement (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Thompson, A., Körner, L., Senin, N., Lawes, S., Leach, R., & Maskery, I. (2017). X-ray computed tomography of additively manufactured metal parts: the effect of magnification and reconstruction sampling on surface topography measurement.

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has recently become recognised as a viable method of surface topography measurement for additively manufactured (AM) metal parts [1–5]. AM is capable of producing internal features that are inaccessible to other surfac...

Measurement of internal surfaces of additively manufactured parts by X-ray computed tomography (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Thompson, A., Körner, L., Senin, N., Lawes, S., Maskery, I., & Leach, R. K. (2017). Measurement of internal surfaces of additively manufactured parts by X-ray computed tomography.

Recent advances in X-ray computed tomography (XCT) have allowed for measurement resolutions approaching the point where XCT can be used for measuring surface topography. These advances make XCT appealing for measuring hard-to-reach or internal surfac... Read More about Measurement of internal surfaces of additively manufactured parts by X-ray computed tomography.

Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Aboulkhair, N. T., Tuck, C., Maskery, I., Ashcroft, I., & Everitt, N. (2015). Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks. In Industrial Laser Applications Symposium (ILAS 2015). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2190015

Selective laser melting (SLM) of aluminium alloys faces more challenges than other ongoing alloys such as stainless steels and titanium alloys because of the material’s properties. It is important to study single scan tracks if high density large par... Read More about Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks.
