...Loong-Ee Loh; Jie Song; Fenglin Guo; Guijun Bi Selective laser melting (SLM) has received increasing attention in recent years as an innovative manufacturing technique. The present SLM process only uses a single laser beam to melt and consolidate the powder, which may result in excessive...

... Melting Solidification The phase change material (PCM) has been widely used in thermal energy storage [ 1 ], waste heat recovery [ 2 ], battery thermal management [ 3 ], and so on, with the large latent heat and little temperature variation during solid–liquid phase change [ 4 ]. However...

.... We also attempted to design a new TZM oven, but welding turned out to be a problem. From our testing, TZM materials were like glass at high temperature, unsuitable for manufacturing seal ovens of high temperature. However, we successfully use TZM with a melting point of 2600 °C to design a new heater...

...Daniel Moser; Anil Yuksel; Michael Cullinan; Jayathi Murthy Selective laser melting (SLM) is a widely used powder-based additive manufacturing process. However, it can be difficult to predict how process inputs affect the quality of parts produced. Computational modeling has been used to address...

The results show that for all the heat flux distributions, the slight clockwise rotation of the cavity can accelerate the melting process. Furthermore, when more heat...

... time, the use of a high loading (e.g., 3.0 wt %) was demonstrated to be possibly uneconomical because of the marginal gain in heat retrieval rate. Finally, correlations for the transient variations of the melt fraction and surface-averaged Nusselt number were proposed. 1 These authors contributed...
