A simple technique to estimate the processing window for laser clad coatings

K. Zoltan Lino Costa B. Verö Imre Felde R. Colaço Tamás Réti R. Vilar

Publication Name: International Surface Engineering Congress Proceedings of the 1st Congress

Publication Date: 2003-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 237-242

Description:

A semi-empirical method for selecting the processing parameters of laser cladding is proposed. This phenomenological approach uses simple mathematical formulae, derived from a statistical analysis of measured data, to relate the laser cladding parameters with the geometric features of the clad track. Given the required clad height and available laser beam power, the proposed method allows one to calculate values of the scanning speed and powder feed rate which are used to obtain low dilution, pore free coatings, fusion bonded to the substrate. To illustrate the application of this method, variable powder feed rate laser cladding experiments were carried out with Stellite 6 powder on mild steel substrates. In this technique the laser beam power and radius and the processing speed are kept constant, while the powder feed rate is varied along a single track length according to a specified linear function. The expressions derived from the model were used to plot the experimental data in a coherent manner, revealing the combined role of the different processing parameters.

Description:

Laser processed tool steels present a metastable structure generally containing martensite and an extremely large proportion of retained austenite as compared to conventionally treated steel, which affects considerably the properties of the material. In rapid tooling by laser powder deposition, as consecutive layers of material are deposited to generate a 3D object, the material in previously deposited layers is submitted to successive thermal cycles, which destabilise retained austenite, leading to its transformation to martensite. Also, the martensite present in these layers will progressively decompose by tempering when the material is reheated. As a result, the properties of the material are progressively modified as the object is built-up. The evolution of the microstructure and properties of tool steels during laser freeform manufacturing is extremely difficult to study experimentally, due to the complexity of the transformations involved and the heterogeneity of the material and of the applied thermal field, hence modelling presents clear advantages in the optimization of part build-up strategy. In the present work, a model of the phase transformations resulting from the successive overlap of clad layers based on the coupling of finite element calculations of the time-dependent temperature distribution with transformation kinetics is described. The model was used to predict the evolution of properties and final property distribution in a martensitic stainless steel component produced by laser powder deposition.

Sparse fuzzy systems generation and fuzzy rule interpolation: A practical approach

Szilveszter Kovacs Tamás D. Gedeon László T. Kóczy None Chong

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2003-07-11

Volume: 1

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 494-499

Description:

In this paper, we explore the use of a sparse fuzzy system generation technique in conjunction with simple projection-based fuzzy rule interpolation, to generate sparse fuzzy systems with relatively few rules whilst still achieving reasonable system accuracy. Through setting a parameter value, the user is able to control, to some extent, the number of rules generated by the rule extraction technique. The rule interpolation approach enables the sparse fuzzy system to maintain a reasonable accuracy. The effectiveness of this approach is validated experimentally.

A common periodic table of codons and amino acids

Publication Name: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Publication Date: 2003-06-27

Volume: 306

Issue: 2

Page Range: 408-415

Description:

A periodic table of codons has been designed where the codons are in regular locations. The table has four fields (16 places in each) one with each of the four nucleotides (A, U, G, C) in the central codon position. Thus, AAA (lysine), UUU (phenylalanine), GGG (glycine), and CCC (proline) were placed into the corners of the fields as the main codons (and amino acids) of the fields. They were connected to each other by six axes. The resulting nucleic acid periodic table showed perfect axial symmetry for codons. The corresponding amino acid table also displaced periodicity regarding the biochemical properties (charge and hydropathy) of the 20 amino acids and the position of the stop signals. The table emphasizes the importance of the central nucleotide in the codons and predicts that purines control the charge while pyrimidines determine the polarity of the amino acids. This prediction was experimentally tested. © 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
