Titanium and its associated alloys have been used in industry for over 50 years and have become more popular in the recent decades. Titanium has been most successful in areas where the high strength to weight ratio provides an advantage over aluminum and steels. Other advantages…
The main objective of this project is to design a new tool steel powder, which is less expensive (raw materials and process) than h igh speed steel (HSS) powders. The reference material which will be used throughout this project contains M2 HSS powder. Therefore, a new low cost …
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) is one of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, in which metal powders are used as feedstock. AM process enables the production of lightweight structures, design freedom in 3D printed parts, short cycle time, etc. AM made part properties are affecte…
"The technology of explosive compaction, which has remained somewhat dormant for the past five decades, is now relevant and attractive for exploring suitable means for processing emerging materials such as rapidly solidified powders, nanocrystalline materials, super-hard materia…

An introduction to thermitic reactivity -- Characteristics of the metal-metal oxide reaction matrix -- Some thermodynamic concepts and considerations -- Applying thermodynamic concepts -- Additional topics -- Magnesium-oxidizer systems -- Titanium-oxidizer systems -- Zirconium-o…
"Thermites, generally considered to be mixtures of metals and metal oxides, are an important subset of energetic materials. Describing the results of calculations on 800 possible combinations of metal and metal oxide reactants, this practical overview will serve those in energet…
