Mapping inequalities in London by Hennig, BD, Dorling, D

“…What can be seen in these maps and statistics is the fragmented nature of London, which is not only a 'tale of two cities ', but a patchwork of divisions that permeate many parts of the city. Measures to tackle these problems are needed, but seeing them where they are most apparent is a first step in understanding them and finding appropriate solutions.…”

Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…Additive manufacturing (AM) has shown advantageous aspects over conventional manufacturing methods, e.g., additional design freedom, ability to fabricate complex shapes without the need for post-processing, and enhanced mechanical performance of the fabricated parts. The development and application of AM techniques, such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), however, are hampered by the relatively limited types of alloys that are amenable to AM, e.g., 316L stainless steel, Inconel 718, and Ti64. …”
