Low-magnification image (optical microscope) of the microstructure of the AlSi10Mg alloy produced by AM

Optimisation of heat treatment and coatings for additively manufactured mechanical components

From subtractive to additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) affords design freedom, topological optimization and ability to develop material/component combinations with “site-specific” properties. AM therefore is an effective tool to meet the growing needs of both high...

Laser hardening in numerical control machining centres (CNC)

Working and hardening on the same machine: from the semi-finish to the finished part

Direct Laser Hardening (DLH) in numerical control machining centres is a process to superficially harden mechanical components at the end of removal processing and directly on the machining centre where they have been made, thus avoiding induction...
