The present study examines the influence of process parameters on the effect of strength and crystalline properties of AlSi10Mg alloy with laser sintered process. A detailed work was carried out with the effects of varying the laser power, scan speed, and hatch distance on crystalline structure, hardness, and surface roughness. From the analysis, the improved surface quality and mechanical performance were achieved with a scan speed of 1200 mm/s, a laser power of 370 W, and a hatch distance of 0.1 mm. An increase in hardness, improved surface finish, and reduced porosity was observed with decreased hatch distance. However, the balanced results were obtained for scanning speed of 1200 mm/s and laser power of 370 W. The ideal processing conditions decreased the crystalline size, increasing the overall material strength, when crystalline analysis was carried out. The higher scanning speeds supported improved grain refinement and heat diffusion, with the poor hardness value. With the lower

This article presents a new generation of electric motors developed for light mobility and industrial applications. The motor range is based on synchronous reluctance technology using non-rare-earth permanent magnets. Three continuous power levels have been developed: 2, 4 and 6 kW. The challenges related to that motor range is their high continuous performances (cooled by natural convection) under nominal 48V, and reparability easiness without adding complexity. These motors stand out thanks to their competitive manufacturing cost and peak efficiency above 94%, which is a remarkable performance for this power and torque class. A prototype of a 6 kW continuous power has been produced and benchmarked. The experimental test showed a high level of correlation with the simulation calculation.

In the transition towards sustainable mobility, Circular Design principles are crucial. Electric Motors are subject to continuous innovation to improve efficiency, performance density and reduce externalities associated with their production. Therefore, the choice of technological solutions during design phase must guarantee optimal performance and minimal environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle: production, use, and end-of-life. In the automotive sector, the use phase is particularly critical since the efficiency of the traction system is directly related to total energy consumption during the life cycle and, consequently, to its environmental impact. This research introduces a simulation-based approach to evaluate the use phase of an Axial Flux Electric Motor equipped with Permanent Magnets (AFPM). While providing high performance for electric traction motors, these magnets are composed of Rare Earth Elements (REEs), e.g. Neodymium, classified as Critical Raw

In this study, the optimization of robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) parameters for joining hot-rolled ferritic-bainitic FB590 steel sheets with a thickness of 2.5 mm was investigated. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of wire feed speed and welding speed on the penetration depth, throat thickness, and mechanical performance of the welded joint. A series of welding experiments were carried out with wire feed speeds ranging from 50 cm/min to 100 cm/min and welding speeds ranging from 5 cm/min to 15 cm/min. Tensile and microhardness tests were carried out to evaluate the structural integrity of the welded joints. The results show that increasing the wire feed speed significantly improves the weld penetration and throat thickness, especially at constant welding speeds. The most suitable combination was found to be 70 cm/min wire feed at 8 cm/min travel speed and 100 cm/min wire feed at 12 cm/min and 15 cm/min travel speeds. The microhardness in the heat-affected zone

Over the past decade, significant progress in nano science and nanotechnology has opened new avenues for the development of high-performance photovoltaic cells. At present, a variety of nanostructure-based designs—comprising metals, polymers, and semiconductors—are being explored for photovoltaic applications. Advancements in the understanding of optical and electrical mechanisms governing photovoltaic conversion have been supported by theoretical analyses and modeling studies. Nevertheless, the high fabrication cost and relatively low efficiency of conventional solar photovoltaic cells remain major barriers to their large-scale deployment. One-dimensional (1D) nano materials, in particular, have introduced promising prospects for enhancing photovoltaic performance owing to their unique structural and electronic characteristics. Nanowires, nano rods, and nanotubes exemplify such 1D nanostructures, offering substantial potential to improve photon absorption, electron transport, and

Measurement plays a crucial role in the precise and accurate management of automotive subsystems to enhance efficiency and performance. Sensors are essential for achieving high levels of accuracy and precision in control applications. Rapid technical advancements have transformed the automobile industry in recent years, and a wide range of novel sensor devices are being released to the market to speed up the development of autonomous vehicle technology. Nonetheless, stricter regulations for reliable pressure sensors in automobiles have resulted from growing legal pressures from regulatory bodies. This work proposes and investigates a tribo electric nano sensor that is affected by a changing parameter of the separation distance between the device's primary electrode and dielectric layers. The system is being modeled using the COMSOL multiphysics of electrostatics and the tribo-electric effect. Open circuit electric potential and short circuit surface charge density are two of the

NiCoCrAlY powders were thermally sprayed by combustion flame spray (CFS) and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) processes on IN 718 alloy substrates. Experimental parameters were fixed to manufacture coatings with a thickness about 200 μm. Microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses were performed to reveal microstructural characteristics of both developed CFS and HVOF coatings, and it was observed that they were formed by a lamellar morphology composed of β and γ phases. The analyses also revealed lower porosity in the coatings produced by HVOF process while was compared with CFS process. While a microstructure composed of like-deformed powder was developed in HVOF process, in the case of CFS a building layer-by-layer was characteristic. Vickers hardness tests were also performed, and it was found that coating developed by HVOF process showed quite higher hardness values compared with those measured on the coatings developed with the CFS process, nonetheless this difference was small

Like those in many other industries, truck and off-highway vehicle manufacturers face the challenge of producing quality components and maintaining productive processes while also generating a better bottom line. Improving employee training, simplifying complex operations and implementing better workflows can all help generate efficiencies. While not a new concept, lightweighting - in this case, reducing the weight of parts through the substitution of traditional steel with high-strength, thinner steels - can also be a viable answer to a better vehicle. As a rule of thumb, when manufacturers double the strength of the material through lightweighting, it is possible to reduce the weight of the part by one-third. That weight reduction can then lower the cost per part for greater profitability per piece of equipment and greater annual savings.

This study aims at examining the effect of tool rotational speed on the microstructural and mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints of AA6061 aluminum alloy, both pre- and post-heat treatment. The quality of the joints was assessed initially through tensile, hardness, and charpy impact tests, as well as microscopic observations. During the second stage, solid solution heat treatments were conducted at 535°C, followed by aging on additional specimens welded at identical speeds. The latter underwent hardness tensile tests and microscopic examinations. A comprehensive assessment of the outcomes from various tests validated the influence of metallurgical phenomena, including recrystallization, precipitation, and structural defects on overall resistance. The results showed an improvement in strength, ductility, and impact energy was observed in the case of welding at high rotation speed (1400 rpm). At the same speed, ductility almost doubled after post-weld heat treatment
