We report that pure microwave (MW) radiation, without the assistance of MW susceptors, can rapidly heat titanium hydride (TiH2) powder to 1300 degrees C for isothermal sintering. The release of hydrogen, however, induces low-temperature plasmas which reflect incident MWs, leading to cyclic temperature fluctuations. Commercially pure titanium fabricated by MW radiation of TiH2 powder exhibits much higher sintered densities, tensile strength and ductility together with finer residual pores, compared to that sintered from hydride-dehydride titanium powder.

Laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (LPBF-AM): the influence of design features and LPBF variables on surface topography and effect on fatigue properties

Joe Elambasseril, Jason Rogers, Chris Wallbrink, David Munk, Martin Leary, M. Qian

Summary: The design freedom offered by additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of components with internal surfaces that are challenging to access post-manufacture. This is of concern, as the surface condition can markedly deteriorate fatigue performance. It is therefore desirable to consider deploying AM parts with no or minimal surface processing for targeted applications.

Electron beam additively manufactured Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe alloy: In-situ precipitation hardening, tensile properties and fracture characteristics

Q. Zhou, X. Z. Zhang, H. P. Tang, M. Qian

Summary: Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe alloy was fabricated using electron beam powder bed fusion. No Fe-stabilized beta-flecks were observed. In-situ precipitation hardening occurred in columnar prior-beta grains. Nanoscale alpha-lath precipitates exhibited noticeable deformation while microscale alpha-laths became a major source of microcracks, which should be avoided. The as-fabricated Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe alloy showed significant tensile properties.

The Gibson-Ashby model for additively manufactured metal lattice materials: Its theoretical basis, limitations and new insights from remedies

Haozhang Zhong, Tingting Song, Chuanwei Li, Raj Das, Jianfeng Gu, Ma Qian

Summary: The Gibson-Ashby (G-A) model is essential for designing additively manufactured metal lattice materials. However, it is only applicable to low-density lattice materials with strut length-to-diameter ratios greater than 5. This study reveals fundamental disconnections between the G-A model and additively manufactured metal lattice materials.

The effect of geometric design and materials on section properties of additively manufactured lattice elements

Abduladheem Almalki, David Downing, Jordan Noronha, Jason Dash, Bill Lozanovski, Rance Tino, Ahmad Alghamdi, Mahyar Khorasani, Ma Qian, Milan Brandt, Martin Leary

Summary: This research proposes a method to characterize the impact of common LB-PBF powders and geometric design parameters on section properties of as-manufactured strut elements. Micro-computed tomography has been applied to algorithmically characterize the variation and identify a scale threshold below which additional geometric resolution does not influence the section properties. This methodology provides a robust and algorithmic design tool for additive manufacturing to characterize the effects of manufacturing and design parameters on the functional response of AM strut elements.

Microstructural characterisation and mechanical evaluation of Ti-15Mo manufactured by laser metal deposition

Edohamen Awannegbe, Huijun Li, Tingting Song, Frank Niessen, Ma Qian, Azdiar A. Gazder, Mitchel J. B. Nancarrow, Elena Pereloma

Summary: A bidirectional powder deposition strategy was used to additively manufacture Ti-15Mo wt% using laser metal deposition. The microstructure and deformation mechanisms were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscattering diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Three distinct zones, including fusion, remelted, and heat affected zones, were found in all 25 deposited layers with coarse columnar grains, and Mo segregation was observed in the microstructure. Deformation accommodation in the beta matrix was achieved by slip, twinning, and martensite and omega D formation contrary to the expected twinning.

Ti-6Al-4V hollow-strut lattice materials by laser powder bed fusion

J. Noronha, J. Rogers, M. Leary, E. Kyriakou, S. B. Inverarity, R. Das, M. Brandt, M. Qian

Summary: In this study, hollow-strut metal lattices were successfully fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing (AM). It was found that both face-centered cubic (FCC) and FCC with Z-struts (FCCZ) Ti-6Al-4V lattice topologies exhibited mechanical properties close to solid-strut metal lattices. Moreover, the fine prior-beta grains in the Ti-6Al-4V hollow-strut thin walls contributed positively to the superior mechanical properties.

Analysing the effect of defects on stress concentration and fatigue life of L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloy using finite element modelling

L. Afroz, S. B. Inverarity, M. Qian, M. Easton, R. Das

Summary: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a developing manufacturing technology with excellent attributes, but defects hinder the mechanical properties of parts. Numerical prediction based on specified conditions can be an alternative to experimental analysis at the design stage of AM parts. This study performed elastic-plastic finite element analysis to analyze the stress distribution around pores and their effect on fatigue life for AlSi10Mg alloy samples produced by laser powder bed fusion. The proposed model shows approximately 5% error with experimental results at high stress loading conditions.

Fatigue test data applicability for additive manufacture: A method for quantifying the uncertainty of AM fatigue data

Jason Rogers, Ma Qian, Joe Elambasseril, Colin Burvill, Craig Brice, Chris Wallbrink, Milan Brandt, Martin Leary

Summary: Additive manufactured (AM) components are increasingly used in fatigue-limited and safety-critical applications, requiring reliable predictions of the fatigue response. Published AM fatigue data must be accompanied by robust documentation to ensure confident adoption. Currently, there is no formal method for quantifying the uncertainty in published AM fatigue test data. This study proposes documentation criteria based on recognised standards and introduces applicability indices to quantify the uncertainty of reported AM fatigue test data, providing a new way to evaluate the suitability of fatigue data for specific applications.

Low-density, high-strength metal mechanical metamaterials beyond the Gibson-Ashby model

Haozhang Zhong, Raj Das, Jianfeng Gu, Ma Qian

Summary: This study proposes a new design concept based on a generalized theoretical model to overcome the challenge of manufacturing low-density, high-strength, ductile metal mechanical metamaterials. By reducing the strut length-to-diameter ratio without increasing lattice density, the maximum strength of the material can be achieved. Using this design concept, researchers have successfully designed low-density, high-strength metal lattice materials that outperform other cellular metallic materials of equivalent density. This concept is expected to inspire the design of more metal metamaterials.

Node-reinforced hollow-strut metal lattice materials for higher strength

J. Noronha, J. Dash, M. Leary, D. Downing, E. Kyriakou, M. Brandt, M. Qian

Summary: This study presents a design strategy to improve the strength of hollow-strut metal lattices by applying nodal reinforcement. The proposed designs significantly increased the yield strength and elastic modulus of Ti-6Al-4V cubic lattices, while still maintaining a modest increase in density. Compared to solid-strut Ti-6Al-4V cubic lattices, the reinforced lattices exhibited higher peak stress and exceeded the upper limits of the Gibson-Ashby model for cellular metallic materials.

Laser directed energy deposition of Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe alloy: From zero to significant tensile plasticity

Q. Zhou, X. Z. Zhang, T. Song, S. L. Lu, T. Dong, H. P. Tang, M. Qian

Summary: In this study, the fabrication of Ti-1Al-8V-5Fe (Ti-185) alloy using laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) was investigated. The precipitate phases along the build height were found to have a significant influence on the tensile properties of the alloy. The formation of the embrittling isothermal omega-phase (omega iso) was found to result in zero plasticity in the top region of the sample, while the middle region without the omega-phase exhibited significant tensile ductility and strength. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that converting the isothermal omega-phase to the athermal omega-phase (omega ath) restored the tensile ductility of the alloy.

Massive transformations in titanium alloys: Role of relative orientation of adjacent parent grains

S. L. Lu, D. Han, D. Y. Qin, T. Song, D. Qiu, M. Brandt, H. P. Tang, M. Qian

Summary: Massive transformations occur in titanium alloys, resulting in patch-like massive phases that traverse the parent prior-beta grain boundaries. The formation of these phases always occurs when two neighboring prior-beta grains share or nearly share a {110} pole. These phases display concentrated {0001} poles and tend to decompose into ultrafine alpha-beta lamellae.

Post-yield softening of bending-dominated metal metamaterials

H. Z. Zhong, C. W. Li, R. Das, J. F. Gu, M. Qian

Summary: Post-yield softening (PYS) is an important factor in guiding the design of high-performance energy-absorbing lattice materials. Contrary to previous assumptions, this study shows that PYS can occur in bending-dominated Ti-6Al-4V lattices with increasing relative density. The underlying mechanism is explained by the increase in stretching and shear deformation as relative density increases, leading to a higher tendency towards PYS. This finding expands perspectives on PYS for the design of high-performance energy-absorbing lattice materials.

On the co-nucleation of adjoining twin pairs at grain boundaries in hexagonal close-packed materials

Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Sharp/diffuse antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition regulated by atomic displacement ordering

Bing Han, Zhengqian Fu, Guoxiang Zhao, Xuefeng Chen, Genshui Wang, Fangfang Xu

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Guowei Zhou, Yuanzhe Hu, Zizheng Cao, Myoung Gyu Lee, Dayong Li

Summary: In this work, a physics-constrained neural network is used to predict grain-level responses in FCC material by incorporating crystal plasticity theory. The key feature, shear strain rate of slip system, is identified based on crystal plasticity and incorporated into the loss function as physical constitutive equations. The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Relating the combinatorial materials chip mapping to the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses via diffraction peak width

Ze Liu, Cai Chen, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
