A new powder production method has been developed to speed up the search for novel alloys for additive manufacturing. The technique involves an ultrasonically agitated cold crucible installed at the top of a 20 kHz ultrasonic sonotrode. The material is melted with an electric arc and undergoes pulverization with standing wave vibrations. Several different alloys in various forms, including noble and metallic glass alloys, were chosen to test the process. The atomized particles showed exceptional sphericity, while powder output suitable for additive manufacturing reached up to 60%. The AMZ4 metallic glass powder remained amorphous below the 50 μm fraction, while tungsten addition led to crystallization in each fraction. Minor contamination and high Mn and Zn evaporation, especially in the finest particles, was observed in atomized powders. The innovative ultrasonic atomization method appears as a promising tool for material scientists to develop powders with tailored chemical composition, size and structure.

Ulos batak toba is one of indonesia traditional fabric, precisely the traditional cloth of the batak toba. From time to time the ulos fabric was growing in terms of  type and motif. One of the companies that produces ulos batak is cv. Ala dos roha. The authors conducted this study aimed at predicting the amount of production of ulos batak to produced later. The author uses the previous request, inventory and production data using fuzzy logic tsukamoto. The final result of the calculation with this method will be more effective and efficient so as to speed up the decision making time to predict the amount of production to be produced next.Keywords: prediction, amount of  production, method of tsukamoto

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a technique for the additive manufacturing (AM) of metals, plastics, and even ceramics. This paper explores using SLM for depositing glass structures. A CO2 laser is used to locally melt portions of a powder bed to study the effects of process parameters on stationary particle formation as well as continuous line quality. Numerical modeling is also applied to gain insight into the physical process. The experimental and numerical results indicate that the absorptivity of the glass powder is nearly constant with respect to the processing parameters. These results are used to deposit layered single-track wide walls to demonstrate the potential of using the SLM process for building transparent parts. Finally, the powder bed process is compared to a wire-fed approach. AM of glass is relevant for gradient index optics, systems with embedded optics, and the formation of hermetic seals.

The development of process parameters and scanning strategies for bulk metallic glass formation during additive manufacturing is time-consuming and costly. It typically involves trials with varying settings and destructive testing to evaluate the final phase structure of the experimental samples. In this study, we present an alternative method by modelling to predict the influence of the process parameters on the crystalline phase evolution during laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF-LB). The methodology is demonstrated by performing simulations, varying the following parameters: laser power, hatch spacing and hatch length. The results are compared in terms of crystalline volume fraction, crystal number density and mean crystal radius after scanning five consecutive layers. The result from the simulation shows an identical trend for the predicted crystalline phase fraction compared to the experimental estimates. It is shown that a low laser power, large hatch spacing and long hatch lengths are beneficial for glass formation during PBF-LB. The absolute values show an offset though, over-predicted by the numerical model. The method can indicate favourable parameter settings and be a complementary tool in the development of scanning strategies and processing parameters for additive manufacturing of bulk metallic glass.

In addition to traditional manufacturing methods, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a widespread production technique used in the industry. The Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method is one of the most known and widely used additive manufacturing techniques. Due to the fact that polymer-based materials used as depositing materials by the FDM method in printing of parts have insufficient mechanical properties, the technique generally has limited application areas such as model making and prototyping. With the development of polymer-based materials with improved mechanical properties, this technique can be preferred in wider application areas. In this context, analysis of the mechanical properties of the products has an important role in the production method with FDM. This study investigated the mechanical properties of the products obtained by metal/polymer composite filament production and FDM method in detail. It was reviewed current literature on the production of metal/polymer composite filaments with better mechanical properties than filaments compatible with three-dimensional (3D) printers. As a result, it was found that by adding reinforcements of composites in various proportions, products with high mechanical properties can be obtained. Thus, it was predicted that the composite products obtained in this way can be used in wider application areas.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es desarrollar una mezcla optimizada de concreto de polvos reactivos (RPC) que contenga materiales cementícios suplementarios (SCM), como la escoria siderúrgica de arco eléctrico (EASF) y el polvo de vidrio reciclado (RGP) entre otros, utilizando el diseño factorial. Se calcularon diferentes regresiones polinómicas para predecir con precisión las variables respuesta (flujo estático y resistencia a compresión a distintas edades) en función de los factores considerados. A través de un algoritmo multiobjetivo, se determinó la mezcla que alcance la resistencia y flujo estático adecuados con un contenido mínimo de cemento. La verificación experimental de esta optimización matemática mostró que con 621 kg/m3 de cemento ASTM Tipo HE, y un contenido máximo de 100 kg/m3 de humo de sílice, se puede alcanzar una resistencia a compresión superior a los 150 MPa en un concreto, además, autocompactante.

Metal 3D AM (Additive Manufacturing) has been becoming a more common production method for larger variety of parts. In this review the current situation and future development trends of the 3D metal AM are presented, concentrating on the SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology. A holistic approach to the AM as a digital manufacturing method is presented and different manufacturing aspects of the AM production are identified. The most promising aspects for the future development are the automatization of the AM design tasks and automatization of the production. With the development of these aspects the production and cost efficiency of the metal AM can be increased to a more competitive level compared with other manufacturing methods.
