Harmonization, interoperability and an open architecture for all the stakeholders of a pan-European electrical system: the vision of the project OneNet

This work offers an overview of the essential findings of the project OneNet, which aims to enable a pan-European electrical system where the heterogeneous landscape of stakeholders, markets and platforms across Europe can openly participate at all levels. The paper outlines the...

Material and grinding behavior analysis of cemented carbides with cobalt-reduced and cobalt-free binder materials

Abstract Manufacturing companies require large numbers of high-performance cutting tools, which are often made from cemented carbides due to their high hardness and toughness. Cobalt (Co) is typically used as a binder because of its favorable mechanical properties and the high so...

Modification of Surface and Subsurface Properties of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718 Components Through Post-Process and Interlayer Machine Hammer Peening

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables rapid, near-net-shape fabrication with high material efficiency, but the resulting components often exhibit surface roughness, microstructural heterogeneity, and tensile residual stresses that reduce their performance. Machine hammer peening (M...
