Especially when you’re coming out of your comfort zone and putting yourself out there when trying something new, it can make you experience imposter syndrome. You might think you are a fraud. Your research outcomes aren’t sufficiently valuable and that you don’t have the “legitimacy” or “credibility” to let people pay attention to your research. [read more]
Technologically respected, though often overlooked, Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) resembles Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) but lags far behind in adoption, despite a promising value proposition in many application areas. The question is, why does PBF-EB lag so far behind PBF-LB in terms of adoption? In this article, I will examine the strengths and weaknesses of PBF-EB and PBF-LB and try to predict where PBF-EB is headed. [read more]
The stainless steel properties vary according to the alloying elements and their ratios. The exact properties of the stainless steel grade depend on the mutual effect of alloying elements, heat treatments and to some extent, the impurities too. The following parts enumerate the alloying elements and the reasons they are present. [read more]
In layman's terms, the area of science that focuses on the properties of metals and how they interact with one another is called metallurgy. In this blog, I try to clarify why examining metallurgical characteristics of friction stir welding joints should be a priority, not a choice. [read more]
