Characterization of Magnesium Silicide Stannide Powder for use in Selective Laser Melting

Gray R., LeBlanc S., The LeBlanc Lab, US

This study examines magnesium silicide stannide (Mg2Si0.4Sn0.6) powder, a thermoelectric material optimal for high temperature applications. Powder morphology and particle size distribution were analyzed through optical microscopy and the image analysis software FIJI. The ability [...]

Powder Metallurgy Characterization of Thermoelectric Materials for Selective Laser Melting

Batista N., El Desouky A., Crandall J., Wang S., Yang J., LeBlanc S., The George Washington University, US

Thermoelectric materials are semiconductors capable of converting heat into electrical energy. Traditional manufacturing of thermoelectric devices involves machining and assembly steps which limit device geometries, result in material loss, and introduce parasitic thermal and electrical [...]
