ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF COMPONENTS FOR IN-DIE CAVITY USE, SUITABLE TO WITHSTAND ALUMINIUM HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING (HPDC) PROCESS CONDITIONS

Pereira, Manuel. Filipe. Viana. Teotonio. (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2013)

This research examines the suitability of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for manufacturing dies used in aluminium high pressure die casting. The study was guided by the following objectives: • The reviews of applicable ...
Alumide tooling for limited production plastic injection moulding

Combrinck, Jacques (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2018)

Existing techniques for the production of conventional steel tooling for plastic injection moulding are expensive and time consuming. The result is that many new products often do not advance beyond the prototype stage. ...
Characterisation and monitoring of TI-6AL-4V Eli power used for the qualification of medical implants produced through additive manufacturing

Thejane, Kekeletso (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2018)

The characterisation and monitoring of Ti-6Al-4V extra low interstitial (ELI) powder is an important requirement for full qualification of medical implants and aerospace components produced through Selective Laser Melting ...
The development and characterization of a cost-effective, renewable energy greenhouse for production of crops in atypical climatic conditions

Aggenbacht, F.C. (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2017)

The aim of this investigation is to determine if it would be financially viable to use alternative energy technologies in the heating and cooling of greenhouses that are used to grow temperature-sensitive crops all year ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A REPEATABLE DIP MOULDING PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING POLYMER ARTIFICIAL HEART VALVES

MASHEANE, LEBOHANG REGINALD (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2017)

Polyurethane heart valves have been widely studied as possible replacements for mechanical and biological heart valves. To function optimally, these valves have to be free from calcification, require no anticoagulation, ...
Direct metal laser sintering of titanium alloys for biomedical applications

Dzogbewu, Thywill Cephas Komla (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2017)

Ongoing scientific progress shifts conventional methods to the much celebrated Additive Manufacturing (AM) due to its freedom of design, flexibility in feedstock and material optimization. It has shown that Direct Metal ...
