https://journals.modernsciences.org/index.php/JAESE <p>The Journal of Astronomy &amp; Earth Sciences Education (JAESE) publishes refereed papers that significantly contribute to the scholarly understanding of cutting edge issues across science education. Using a wide range of systematic education research methods including statistical analysis, qualitative inquiry, analytical work, case studies, field research and historical analysis, articles examine significant science education research questions from a broad range of perspectives.</p> <p>JAESE is an internationally cited, open access journal that is essential reading for academic education researchers and education professionals. Articles may include but are not limited to any contemporary, cutting edge issue describing systematic education research and teaching innovations across the broadly defined Earth &amp; space sciences education, including the disciplines of astronomy, climatology, energy resource science, environmental science, geology, meteorology, planetary sciences, and oceanography.</p> <p>JAESE is published twice a year. Months of distribution are: June and December.</p> en-US Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0600 OJS 3.3.0.7 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://journals.modernsciences.org/index.php/JAESE/article/view/115 <p>The growing importance of 3D printing of finished metal products in recent years stems from its potential to reduce material costs in manufacturing and machining, facilitate changes in part size and product range, and enable the production of solid parts with complex internal geometries. Additive plasma transferred arc surfacing (APTAS) using wire and powder materials is a promising 3D printing process that combines the productivity of arc surfacing processes with the forming accuracy approaching that of beam-based processes. Therefore, this work analyzes the current state of scientific research on the additive manufacturing of metal parts from steels and alloys, including the fabrication of aerospace structures. It also identifies promising directions for the further development of this manufacturing approach and explores the design of innovative plasma and microplasma equipment for the technological implementation of these identified prospects.</p> Volodymyr Korzhyk, Shiyi Gao, Vladyslav Khaskin, Oleksandr Bushma, Andriy Alyoshin (junior), Xinxin Wang, Oleksandr Bozhok, Yanchao Hu, .
