“…Conventionally, filter production involves cutting, welding, and lengthy labour processes. 220,221 Besides the technical benefits of reduced tooling and freedom of design, SLM can also bring a change to the manufacturing sector in terms of economics. Together with the advancement in information technology and the internet, manufacturing can be decentralized.…”

It is well known that adding small amounts of Ti and B into aluminium casting alloys increase the fluidity, feedability, strength, fatigue resistance and pressure tightness. These occur because of Ti and B within the master alloys create heterogeneous nucleation sites by forming such intermetallic compounds as TiB 2 , Al 3 Ti and AlB 2. It is also known that the solidification time is influential on the formation of final grain size of aluminium cast parts. However the combining effects of both grain refining and solidification time has not been studied properly. Therefore, in this work, the effects of the grain refining and solidification time have been investigated on a sand-cast Al-4wt%Cu alloy. To determine solidification time effect, a tests mould having different section thickness has been used.

Additive manufacturing describes technologies that translate virtual computer‐aided design data into physical models in a fast process. While industries such as automotive and aerospace adopt this manufacturing technique rapidly, it is little applied within process engineering. Additive manufacturing offers freedom of design which gives access to novel shapes and geometries with fast production times. This review analyses the most important layer fabrication principles first and shows applications of additive manufacturing in fluid process engineering second. The review focuses on applications where liquids and gases are involved and it showcases the potential of additive manufacturing within process engineering of functional devices. Examples of current research projects show the potential of the technology for advances process engineering.
