This is done by depositing molten material at a specific coordinate and height. This is done continuously until the finished product has been produced. Both FDM and PLA are well-known technology and material in the AM field. Optimizing the parameters will surely provide a good reach for hobbyists, researchers, and academicians. Optimization is a process concerned with the identification of the best possible value/condition for a certain parameter. Most research papers optimize a response/factor at a time given that less than five parameters are being studied. This paper aims to optimize three mechanical properties such as strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity. This response was optimized through seven (7) benchmark parameters conducted in mixed levels (a combination of two and three levels). This paper was able to identify the optimum level per parameter, provide insight into the significant contributors affecting the target responses, and lastly, provide a contour plot to serve as a reference of AM end-users.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140437006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A series of comprehensive experiments were carried out on a 2.5 m thick aluminum 7075 plate that was welded using the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technique. The primary objective of these experiments was to methodically examine the impact of heat treatment on the welded plate's mechanical and microstructural characteristics. The samples underwent examination both before and during heat treatment. The macroscopic and microstructural characteristics were analyzed utilizing optical microscope, tensile testing, and microhardness assessment.

The composition of the reinforcing Y2O3 added into matrix was varied from zero to 2.0 percent weight. Raw powders were carefully weighed with a four-digit balance. Y2O3 powder was pre-linked into Fe powder as the dominant element in the matrix by manually ground for half an hour. Ni and Cr powders were then mixed evenly for the next a half hour to obtain FeNiCr+Y2O3 precursor. Avoiding agglomeration and grain coarsening, the precursor was uniformly homogenized by milling for 20 hours. The precursors were then compressed at an isostatic pressure of 100 kN to 12 grams of pellets each. To prevent sample erosion during smelting with an electric arc furnace (EAF), crystal growing mechanism by conventional sintering was performed at 900 °C for 2 hours. This strengthens the bonds between precursors in forming ODS alloys. The samples were then melt-casted in the arc by 4 times flips. As a result, the neutron diffraction analysis and SEM-EDS strongly reveal the austenitic crystal structure and Y2O3 oxide successfully dispersed in the cast-alloy respectively. The microstructures with Y2O3 oxide spread uniformly overall the cast-alloy surfaces.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":"24 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140435330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The alkaline extraction method was carried out used sodium hydroxide (NaOH), followed by precipitation with mineral acids utilizing one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT). Thereafter, the tensile strength of the 4D printed material was evaluated by tensile testing machine followed by machine learning prediction in which convolutional neural network (CNN) was adopted. The morphology of the 4D printed materials was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM micrograph of the tensile test of biocomposites revealed layer-by-layer formation of the filaments on the printed unfilled PLA biocomposite indicating lower inter-filament bonding. In the first trial, the actual result of the experiment was evaluated to be 24.44 MPa while the CNN prediction was 25.53 MPa.
