Marangoni flow affects the heat and mass transfer occurring in the molten metal regions in welding and additive manufacturing processes. It originates from the surface tension gradient (∂γ/∂T) induced at the melt pool surface due to the temperature difference. The flow pattern within ... Read More
Laser drilling of titanium and its alloys is widely used in aerospace industry, as it offers selective removal of material at high accuracy and speed. However, laser drilling often inherits defects such as large heat affected zone, micro cracks and recast layer. These defects depend upon ... Read More
Electron beam has a wide range of applications in the material processing and joining techniques. Apart from that, it has also been utilized to simulate steady as well as transient fusion reactor relevant heat loads. Transient heat load events spontaneously occur in the fusion reactor. ...

Laser percussion drilling is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce cooling holes in jet engine components. This process is a thermal, contact-free process which involves firing a sequence of focused optical pulses onto a target material [1-4]. During each optical pulse, the ... Read More
A solidification process of casting explosives in shell is studied in this paper. An enthalpy method approach is used to model the solidification process. Both the thermal and mechanical effects are taken into account. An ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) method is used to represent ... Read More
In this paper, we present a study of the simulation of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) using a multiphysics approach. We use a combination of Heat Transfer in Fluids, Solid Mechanics and Laminar Flow physics to accurately simulate the DED process. The ... Read More
Simulation of arc-wire additive manufacturing is under development in many academic and industrial sectors and at different scales. The study at the melt pool scale is often interesting to study deposition shapes and defects but not very relevant to calculate the stresses and strains at ... Read More
The Bridgman process is used in the production of single crystal superalloys for use in high temperature applications. The mechanical properties of these superalloys are strongly influenced by the microstructure that is formed during the solidification. The formation of the ... Read More
Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... Read More
Laser cutting process is usually employed in machining process, however it is also applied for dismantling nuclear facilities. Contrary to mechanical processes where tools wear out quickly and are often renewed, laser cutting process is a contactless approach, therefore there is no ... Read More
