A Perspective on Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing of High‐Nitrogen Alloyed Stainless Steels

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective article explores an innovative powder metallurgical approach to producing high‐nitrogen steels by utilizing a mixture of stainless steel and Si3N4. This mixture undergoes hot isostatic pressing followed by direct quenching. The article also examines adapting this method to laser powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB/M) to overcome nitrogen ...

Anisotropic swim stress in active matter with nematic order [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Active Brownian Particles (ABPs) transmit a swim pressure $\Pi^{swim}=n\zeta D^{swim}$ to the container boundaries, where $\zeta$ is the drag coefficient, $D^{swim}$ is the swim diffusivity and $n$ is the uniform bulk number density far from the container walls.

A Novel Approach on Rapid Alloy Development of Tool Steels for Laser Powder Bed Fusion by In Situ Alloying

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A novel approach for alloy development in laser powder bed fusion is introduced. Instead of producing massive samples of one composition at a time, prepressed powder bed samples produced from powder mixtures are processed. Guidelines for the selection of precursor powders are developed.

From sport to commercialism: History of planning and construction of buildings for sport in Bratislava [PDF]

open access: yesArchitecture Papers of the Faculty of Architecture and Design STU, 2020
The development of modern sports in the former Hungary began in the middle of the 19th century. In 1839, Bratislava residents founded the Horse Racing Association, and gradually various other sports and physical education associations began to emerge.

Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing of High‐Nitrogen Alloyed FeCr(Si)N Stainless Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The alloying element Nitrogen enhances stainless steel strength, corrosion resistance, and stabilizes austenite. This study develops austenitic FeCr(Si)N steel production via powder metallurgy. Fe20Cr and Si3N4 are hot isostatically pressed, creating an austenitic microstructure.
