Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Effect of Laser Power on Wear Characteristics of Ti-6A-4V Alloy Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: Selective laser melting technology is one of the suitable choices for manufacturing parts in the future. In the present study, the effect of laser power on the Tribological properties of titanium alloy was investigated. The results showed that with increasing laser power, the hardness of the alloy increases by 5.2% due to microstructural changes, but on the other hand, the wear behaviour of the alloy decreases with increasing laser power due to reasons such as unstable wear behaviour, microstructural changes, and the weakness of the formed oxide layer. It should be noted that the surface roughness of the prototype can also affect the wear resistance, and increasing the laser power increased the surface roughness as well as the wear rate.
    Keywords: Selective laser melting; laser power; wear behaviour.
