...T. W. Robinson; M. B. Williams; H. M. Rao; R. P. Kinser; P. G. Allison; J. B. Jordon In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) has gained prominence in rapid prototyping and production of structural components with complex geometries. Magnesium alloys, which have a strength-to-weight ratio...

.... In this study, HTCs are investigated experimentally by using a servo-drive press. With the flexibility that the servo-drive press offers, effect of various blank holder pressures on temperature change is determined. Before and after surface roughness conditions of aluminum and magnesium (from two different...

...Serhat Kaya; Giovanni Spampinato; Taylan Altan Weight reduction is one of the major goals in the automotive, appliance, and electronics industries. One way of achieving this goal is to use lightweight alloys such as aluminum and magnesium that have high strength to weight ratios. However, due...
