Abstract
The powder-alloyed metallic sheet foam manufacturing process has the advantage of being able to control pore shape, size, and distribution more easily and homogeneously than conventional foam manufacturing processes. The effects of strain rate and tensile direction on the mechanical properties of Ni-Cr-Al superalloy foam fabricated by powder alloying method..... More

Abstract
A block Ni-Cr-Al superalloy foam with dimensions of 300 mm (width direction, WD) × 500 mm (rolling direction, RD) × 60 mm (normal direction, ND) was fabricated using powder alloying, multi-sheet stacking, and hot rolling processes. The structural characteristics, microstructure, and mechanical asymmetry of the block Ni-based foam were investigated...... More

Abstract
A Ni-Cr-B-Si-C coating layer was manufactured on a plate of Fe base alloy using a laser cladding process, and the microstructural and mechanical properties of the laser cladded coating layer and a Ni electroplating layer (used as a reference material) were investigated. To identify the microstructural and mechanical properties, scanning..... More
