In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction investigation of martensite decomposition in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) processed Ti–6Al–4V KU Leuven

Pushkar Dhekne, Matthias Bönisch, Marc Seefeldt, Kim Vanmeensel
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) processed Ti–6Al–4V components present two substantial challenges: the presence of tensile residual stress and brittleness of the as-fabricated component due to the formation of the martensite (α′) phase. Industrially, post-heat treatment is performed to improve the quasi-static mechanical properties of the Ti–6Al–4V component through martensite (α′) decomposition and residual stress relaxation. However, detailed ...

In-situ alloying of NiTiNb ternary shape memory alloys via laser powder bed fusion using pre-alloyed NiTi and elemental Nb powders: Microstructure, phase transformation behavior and functional properties KU Leuven

Guichuan Li, Jan Van Humbeeck
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) provides not only the advantage to make geometrically complex structures, but also the potential for in-situ alloying. In this work, (NiTi)100–xNbx (x = 1, 3, 5, 9 at%) ternary shape memory alloys were in-situ synthesized through L-PBF using a mixture of pre-alloyed near-equiatomic NiTi and elemental Nb powders. Low-Nb (1, 3 at%) alloys exhibit coarse columnar grains and high cracking tendency, while high-Nb (5, 9 ...
