Forming ability of the WC-based ceramic metal composites with different Fe-based binders by unique laser beam modulation by H.S. Maurya, K. Juhani, F. Sergejev, R. Kumar, A. Hussain, K.G. Prashanth

“…As a result of optimizing the laser beam with variations in laser power peaks (48, 60, and 72 Watt) and constant exposure times for each laser beam profile, the melt pool temperature was regulated, primary cracks in the parts were reduced and this resulted in the fabrication of the parts with reduced process defects such as internal thermal cracks. The reduction in cracks has been attributed to a lower thermal gradient, which has affected the microstructure and microhardness of the as-built parts. …”

Energy-efficient microwave heating for rapid fabrication of porous carbon nanofibers by Haoyue Zhao, Xinyu Li, Fangqin Su, Ning Qi, Jian Fang

“…Such microwave heating technique can enable an ultrafast heating rate (up to 250 °C min−1 on average). Due to the rapid internal and volumetric heating, CNFs prepared using microwave heating exhibit a larger carbon content (92.86 %) and a larger BET specific surface area (687 m2/g) than their counterparts prepared using traditional heating methods (88.49 % and 460.7 m2/g). …”
