Magnetic Pulse Powder Compaction
On 2025-02-04 by Viktors Mironovs, Jekaterina Nikitina, Matthias Kolbe, Irina Boiko, Yulia Usherenko @MDPI
Abstract: Powder metallurgy (PM) offers several advantages over conventional melt metallurgy, including improved homogeneity, fine grain size, and pseudo-alloying capabilities. Transitioning from conventional methods to PM can result in significant enhancements in material properties and production efficiency by eliminating unnecessary process steps. Dynamic compaction techniques, such as impulse and explosive compaction, aim to achieve higher powder density without requiring sintering, further improving [...]

An Exploratory Study
On 2025-02-04 by Saleh Aldahash @MDPI
Abstract: International distribution compels global value chain members to demand highly innovative and technological advancements in their products and processes. The members include small, medium, and large enterprises from both the manufacturing and service categories. Due to short product lifecycles and resource limitations, SMEs are unable to fulfill global value chain requirements in terms of new product development, consequently struggling to sustain manufacturing. In Saudi Arabia, more than 10% of[...]
AI summary: International distribution requires innovative technologies; SMEs in Saudi Arabia struggle with conventional manufacturing methods; Additive manufacturing can enhance SME growth through better financing and collaborations; Optimizing resources and costs with 3D printing technologies improves sustainability.

Interlayer Parallel Connection of Multiple Helmholtz Resonators for Optional Broadband Low Frequency Sound Absorption
On 2025-02-04 by Xiaocui Yang, Qiang Li, Xinmin Shen, Binbin Zhou, Ning Wang, Enshuai Wang, Xiaonan Zhang, Cheng Shen, Hantian Wang, Shunjie Jiang @MDPI
Abstract: The Helmholtz resonance acoustic metamaterial is an effective sound absorber in the field of noise reduction, especially in the low-frequency domain. To overcome the conflict between the number of Helmholtz resonators and the volume of the rear cavity for each chamber with a given front area of single-layer metamaterial, a novel acoustic metamaterial of interlayer parallel connection of multiple Helmholtz resonators (IPC&ndash;MHR) is proposed in this study. The developed IPC&nda[...]
AI summary: Effective sound absorber in low-frequency domain. Novel interlayer parallel connection of multiple Helmholtz resonators proposed. Sound absorption property studied and optimized. Excellent performance in wide low-frequency range.

The Effect of High-Pressure Hydrostatic Extrusion on Mechanical Properties of Printed with Fused Deposition Modeling PLA and PLA-Diatomaceous Earth Composites
On 2025-02-04 by Adrian Dubicki, Mariusz Kulczyk, Karol Szl?zak, Maciej ?ojkowski, Krzysztof Jan Kurzyd?owski @MDPI
Abstract: Three-dimensional printing enables rapid prototyping, customization, and on-demand production. Polylactide is a popular biopolymer filament used in 3D printing. However, due to its brittleness and low mechanical strength, it often needs to be reinforced with filler particles. Diatomaceous earth shows great potential as a filler material due to its abundant and natural occurrence, biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness, as well as its excellent mechanical properties. Cold hydrostatic ex[...]
AI summary: Rapid prototyping enabled by 3D printing. Polylactide filament commonly used in 3D printing requires reinforcement for mechanical strength. Diatomaceous earth as a filler material shows promise. Cold hydrostatic extrusion improves compressive strength of 3D-printed parts, reducing porosity and increasing strength significantly.

Abstract: Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a thermoplastic widely utilized in civilian-, defense-, and medicine-related applications. Therefore, inducing antibacterial properties is an additional asset when infection control is prioritized. To counter this, PMMA was mixed, for the first time, with antibacterial agents (antibacterial blend nanopowder, AP) to curb bacterial proliferation and therefore reduce the chances of infection. The reinforcing efficacy of the blend in PMMA was also assessed. Nanoco[...]
