The throughput of the injection molding process is restricted by cooling time each cycle which accounts for three-fourths time. Manufacturing molds out copper or alloys can reduce because their high thermal conductivity, but mold life reduced has much lower hardness and strength than traditional materials such as steels. By layering steel onto using directed energy deposition, advantages both b...

The use of aluminium alloys for Additive Manufacturing is high interest advanced geometries and lightweight applications. In Directed Energy Deposition, a powder stock processed with laser beam, which offers process flexibility. However, aging the feedstock during storage or after recycling remains fundamentally challenging because their sensitivity to oxidation porosity. order investigate thes...
