Measurement of SME risk and its relationship with SME operating characteristics: An empirical study in Malaysia
(The University of Waikato, 2018)SMEs are inherently risky organisations reflected in high birth and death rates in many countries. This risk of failure is exacerbated by the financial and operational opacity of SMEs, which hamper efforts by authorities ... -
Additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V with added boron: Microstructure and hardness modification
(Trans Tech Publications, 2018)Titanium alloy composites with titanium boride (TiB) discontinuous reinforcement have shown improved performance in terms of strength, stiffness, and hardness. Producing this composite through selective laser melting (SLM) ... -
The effect of heat treatments on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-extruded Ti-6Al-4V alloy rod from blended elemental powders
(Trans Tech Publications, 2018)In this study, Ti-6Al-4V bars were first prepared by extrusion of powder compacts from blended powder mixtures in the beta phase region, then the as-extruded bars were heat-treated following four different conditions: beta ... -
On microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr alloy synthesised from elemental powder mixtures
(Elsevier, 2018)In this paper, we explored to prepare a multi-compositional titanium alloy, Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr (Ti-5553), by powder compact extrusion from elemental powder mixtures, and investigate the microstructure variation during the ... -
Effect of minor titanium addition on copper/diamond composites prepared by hot forging
(Springer Verlag, 2018)Copper/diamond composites have great potential to lead the next generation of advanced heat sink materials for use in high-power electronic devices and high-density integrated circuits because of their potential excellent ...
