This study focuses on the characterization and evaluation of the impact and hardness properties of composite materials developed using fabric waste. The primary objective was to explore the potential of fabric waste as a reinforcing material for sustainable composite development, aligning with the waste-to-resource concept. Specimens were fabricated by reinforcing fabric waste in various weight ra
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the direct fabrication of complex metallic components, but achieving optimal microstructures and mechanical properties remains challenging due to rapid solidification, steep thermal gradients, and cyclic reheating. This review summarizes AM-specific alloy design strategies focused on controlling solidification, refining grains, and mitigating defects such as por
