Liquid photopolymers are used in applications such as 3D printing, where they are deposited layer by layer and cured by exposure to light. Solid photopolymers, also known as photoresists, are used in applications such as lithography and microfabrication, where they are applied as a thin film and selectively exposed to light to create a pattern. The properties of photopolymer materials, such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, can be tailored by adjusting the monomer type, photo initiator type, and processing parameters such as the exposure time and intensity. Overall, photopolymer materials are a versatile and widely used type of polymer material that can be tailored for specific applications through the choice of monomer, photo initiator, and processing parameters. Photopolymer-metal composites based on metal foil deposition on additive manufactured substrates are a technique for creating composite materials with a combination of metal and polymer properties. This approach involves the deposition of a thin layer of metal foil onto a 3D printed polymer substrate, which is then cured using photopolymerization to create a composite material with unique properties.</p> Sagar K G Copyright © 2024 Sagar K G https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-12-21 2023-12-21 7 1 1 13 10.30564/jmmr.v7i1.5962 https://journals.bilpubgroup.com/index.php/jmmr/article/view/5850 <p>A model has been developed to predict the wear groove geometry resulting from wear testing of Stellite 6 coatings on ferrous and nickel-based alloys produced by laser cladding with powers of 1 kW and 1.8 kW. Although the predictions of the model are close to the observed values, they differ in ways that can be accounted for by the incorrect assumption that only abrasive wear occurs. Abrasive wear is dominant, but there is also evidence that adhesive wear and plastic deformation occur and change the geometry and macrostructures of the wear tracks, particularly for the coatings on a Ni-based superalloy substrate. Significant differences were observed in wear track geometries and macrostructures for coatings on the substrates investigated and these differences correlate well with measured differences in the wear loss of the Stellite coatings.</p> Alain Kusmoko Huijun Li Druce Dunne Copyright © 2024 Alain Kusmoko, Huijun Li, Druce Dunne https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-01-27 2024-01-27 7 1 14 21 10.30564/jmmr.v7i1.5850
