Plasma metal deposition (PMD) is an interesting additive technique whereby diverse materials can be employed to produce end parts with complex geometries. This study investigates not only the effects of the manufacturing conditions on the final properties of 316L stainless steel specimens by PMD, but it also affords an opportunity to study how secondary treatments could modify these properties. The tested processing condition was the atmosphere, either air or argon, with the other parameters having previously been optimized. Furthermore, two standard thermal treatments were conducted with the intention of broadening knowledge regarding how these secondary operations could cause changes in the microstructure and properties of 316L parts. To better appreciate and understand the variation of conditions affecting the behavior properties, a thorough characterization of the specimens was carried out. The results indicate that the presence of vermicular ferrite (δ) varied slightly as a consequence of the processing conditions, since it was less prone to appear in specimens manufactured in argon than in air. In this respect, their mechanical properties suffered variations; the higher the ferrite (δ) content, the higher the mechanical properties measured. The degree of influence of the thermal treatment was similar regardless of the processing conditions, which affected the properties based on the heating temperature.

Biodegradable polymer has been widely used in surgical suture, dressing, artificial bone and other bone-related applications. However, when compared with the human cortical bone, the pure polymer obviously did not have enough strength. The present study aimed to give preliminary insights from a pilot study of designing a scaffold of polylactic acid ply yarns composited with stainless steel (SS) braids. To evaluate the fabrication processes and alkali effects on the individual materials, the different heating temperature and alkali treating time and alkali concentration were applied to clarify the changes in mechanical strength. The experimental results showed that the strength was not significant declined with alkali and heating treatments. The retained mechanical strength was kept at 100-120 MPa and ultimately led to bone-like mechanical properties.

In the present investigation friction stir processing (FSP) is carried out using multipass FSP on a 5086 aluminum alloy to modify microstructure and mechanical properties. Two processing conditions P1 and P2 were used, P1 is carried out at constant rotation speed of 1025 rpm and at a traverse speed of 50 mm/min, P2 is carried out at constant rotation speed of 720 rpm and at a traverse speed of 155 mm/min. Inhomogeneous microstructural distribution was observed across the processed zone. EBSD analysis has been done to evaluate the microstructure. Overlapping passes is showing same grain size in the FSPed material. Material processed using P2 processing condition is showing maximum superplastic ductility. The bulk material produced due to multipass FSP seems to be good for superplastic forming applications.

Metal specimens were fabricated via the fused deposition of metals (FDMet) technique with a filament composed of the 316L stainless steel particles and an organic binder. This process was adopted due to its potential as a low-cost additive manufacturing process. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the processing conditions—layer directions and layer thicknesses—on the mechanical and shrinkage properties of the metal components. The specimens were printed in three different layer directions. The highest ultimate strength of 453 MPa and strain at break of 48% were obtained in the specimen printed with the layer direction perpendicular to the tensile direction. On the other hand, the specimen printed in the layer direction parallel to the tensile direction exhibited poor mechanical properties. The reason for the anisotropy of the properties was investigated through systematic SEM observations. The observations revealed the presence of segregated binder domains in the filaments. It was deduced that the binder domain was oriented in the direction perpendicular to that of the layer and remained as oriented voids even after sintering. The voids oriented perpendicular to the tensile direction act as defects that could cause stress concentration, thus resulting in poor mechanical properties.
