Metallurgical reactions and tribological properties of self-lubricating Al-WS2 composites: Laser powder bed fusion Vs. spark plasma sintering

Self-lubricating aluminium-based composites reinforced with solid lubricants promise to meet the demand for lightweight materials in green tribological applications. The design advantages granted by additive manufacturing (AM) processes coupled with their capacity for in-situ production of composite...
