This study shows the influence of the temperature in the Direct Forming Laser process (DFL) of 316L stainless steel metal powder. Results shows that an increasing in the sample surface temperature can improve the laser beam absorption in the DFL process. A pre-heating in the substrate and in the powder contributed to decrease the time to reach the melting point and to improve the surface roughness. This effect was investigated with constant lasers parameters (scanning speed and intensity) and a heating in the samples in the temperature range of 20oto 200oC. It was possible to evaluate the DFL process and to optimize the quality of the sample surface roughness. These results will benefit the knowledge of the DFL technology that can be applied in the development of turbine blades.

Wire electric discharge machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining method that has the ability to machine hard, conductive materials, with no force and high precision. This technology is used in industries, like the aerospace industry, to create precision parts used in high stress applications. Wire EDM is also commonly used in additive manufacturing (AM) applications to remove printed parts from the base-plates onto which they are printed. Numerous studies show the effects of EDM parameters, like pulse-on time, pulse-off time, and cutting voltage, on the processing of traditionally fabricated metal parts. However, very few studies identify how the parameters of wire EDM affect the processing of AM parts. This paper studies the effect of wire EDM pulse-on time, pulse-off time, and cutting voltage on the machining time, surface roughness, and hardness of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel cylinders. The effects of these wire EDM parameters are then tested on the machining time, surface roughness, and hardness of wrought 316L stainless steel cylinders. It was found that machining time of AM samples was statistically significantly lower than wrought samples and also had better surface finish and lower surface hardness.

Superplastic carburizing (SPC) is a carburizing process that combines carburizing with superplastic deformation. Since SPC involves direct interaction between the superplastically deformed surface and the solid carbon medium, the effect of surface roughness on the process cannot be disregarded. This paper presents the study of surface roughness and initial pressure effects on superplastic carburizing of duplex stainless steel (DSS). SPC was conducted under four different surface roughness (Ra) conditions of 0.9, 0.3, 0.1 and 0.03 μm. The microstructure, surface hardness, and carburized layer thickness were studied. Comparisons were also done on non-superplastic material which has a coarse microstructure. The results showed that the surface roughness strongly affected the properties of the superplastically carburized duplex stainless steel while its effects on the non-superplastic material were not that obvious.
