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) ... -
Comparison of the Cracking Behavior of Powder Metallurgy and Ingot Metallurgy Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr Alloys during Hot Deformation
(MDPI, 2019-02-01)The hot workability of metallic materials is significantly dependent on its ability to form plastic without cracking and fracturing. In this work, the cracking behavior of powder metallurgy (PM) Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr (Ti-5553) ... -
Cost-affordable and qualified powder metallurgy metastable beta titanium alloy by designing short-process consolidation and processing
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Short-time processing route has been designed to manufacture cost-affordable and high-quality powder metallurgy (PM) metastable β titanium alloy, containing rapid powder consolidation (modified thermomechanical pressing), ... -
Heat treatment, impact properties, and fracture behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by powder compact extrusion.
(MDPI, 2019)The mechanical properties of titanium and titanium alloys are very sensitive to processing, microstructure, and impurity levels. In this paper, a blended powder mixture of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was consolidated by powder compact ... -
It only took 2 clicks and he’d lost me: Dimensions of inclusion and exclusion in ICT supported tertiary engineering education
(Engineers Australia, 2011)Current conceptualisations of the digital divide have broadened beyond the notion of ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ to include a more multifaceted perspective in which individuals and the contexts in which they learn are explicitly ...

Additive manufacturing of Ti64 alloy in-situ modified with additions of boron or oxygen
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Selective laser melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing process that enables the production of complex, near net shape, parts with fully functional mechanical properties. The use of titanium alloys in SLM is a good ... -
Deformation behaviour and processing of a powder metallurgy metastable beta titanium alloy
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Metastable beta titanium alloys have drawn great attention and became important structural materials in the aeronautical industry thanks to their overall physical and mechanical performance including ultra-high specific ... -
The Synthesis of High Strength Titanium Alloy and Titanium Alloy Matrix Composite by Powder Compact Extrusion from Blended Elemental Powders
(University of Waikato, 2016)Powder compact extrusion (PCE) from blended elemental powders is an effective way to produce titanium alloys and titanium matrix composites with high performance. Its main advantage is cost effectiveness, where high cost ... -
Thermal Stability, Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured/Ultrafine Structured Cu-5vol.%Al₂O₃ Nanocomposites Fabricated by High Energy Mechanical Milling and Powder Compact Extrusion
(University of Waikato, 2014)Ultrafine structured metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) have received much attention due to their attractive engineering applications and scientific interest. On the engineering aspect, ultrafine structured MMNCs have a ... -
The development and applications of a micro-gap perforated electrode flow through cell
(University of Waikato, 2011)Electrochemical techniques provide convenient and environmentally compatible ways of bringing about chemical transformations. However they generally lose their economic viability when used with low conducting electrolyte ...
