Abstract
Residual stresses, local mechanical properties, and microstructural evolution in terms of grain structures and precipitation distribution have been studied in friction stir welding of AA2017 in T4 and T6 conditions. Microstructural studies including optical and electron microscopy were made to characterize the developed microstructures in different zones of the weldment. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction technique and digital image correlation technique were also utilized to assess residual stress and mechanical properties of the welded alloy. The results show that coarsening of semi-coherent plate-shaped precipitates and formation of incoherent spherical-shaped particles occur in heat affected...

Abstract
Design and development of biodegradable scaffolds with highly uniform and controlled internal structure that stimulate tissue regeneration are the focus of many studies. The aim of this work is to apply a modified three-dimensional (3D) printing process to fabricate polymer-matrix composites with controlled internal architecture. Computationally-designed plaster molds with various pore sizes in the range of 300-800. μm were prepared by employing 3D printing of a water-based binder. The molds were converted to ε-polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/bioactive glass (BG) composite scaffolds by solvent casting and freeze drying methods. Optical and electron microscopy studies revealed that the pore...
