Summary: Additive manufacturing has been actively explored to produce complex shapes. In this study, 316L stainless steels with various amounts of Ti were fabricated using directed energy deposition. The addition of Ti changed the microstructure and significantly improved the tensile properties of austenitic stainless steels. Microstructural changes, such as cellular structure and grain refinement, were due to Ti-rich particles acting as new nucleation sites and suppressing the segregation of solute atoms. The tensile properties of the specimen with 2 wt% Ti showed significant improvement compared to the 316L stainless steel without Ti.

Summary: The present work aims to investigate the difference in mechanical behavior between AISI 316L obtained through the turning process and selective laser melting (SLM). Static tensile and fatigue tests were conducted to correlate mechanical behavior with microstructure by utilizing the static thermographic method (STM) and Risitano's thermographic method (RTM) for monitoring energy release. Failure analysis was carried out using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion resistance was evaluated through the double-loop electropotential reactivation (DL-EPR). Inferior mechanical properties, decreased corrosion resistance, and heat dissipation compared to traditional stainless steel were observed, which can be attributed to microstructural defects typical of SLM printing technology.

Summary: The microstructures of 316 L stainless steel created by rapid solidification are investigated through comparison with similar microstructures formed in directed energy deposition additive manufacturing (DED-AM) and single laser surface-melted tracks. High recoil pressure from laser beam power density leads to convection in the melt pool, resulting in microstructural bands. These bands are associated with changes in chromium concentration and are a significant component of the inhomogeneous microstructure in DED-AM.

Summary: Additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing (ASHM) technology combines the efficiency and material utilization of additive manufacturing (AM) with the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of subtractive manufacturing (SM) through direct energy deposition technology. This study utilized AM to rapidly generate the basic shape of stainless steel components and SM milling to achieve machined surface in order to investigate the forming mechanism and its effect on machinability. The rapid cooling rate in the direct energy deposition process led to grain refinement and precipitation of ferrite, resulting in improved hardness and tensile strength. There was no clear linear relationship between work hardening and cutting speed or feed per tooth due to the combination of shear strain strengthening effect and thermal softening effect. The fine grains and more molten pool boundaries obtained through AM led to larger work hardening depth during SM process. Finally, a variety of stainless steel components showed good surface quality and dimensional accuracy through ASHM process.

Summary: The study investigates the effect of different idle times between subsequent layer depositions on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of 15-5 stainless steel during laser-based directed energy deposition. Short idle time leads to the formation of retained/reverted austenite, while long idle time triggers martensitic transformation and Cu precipitation during deposition. Atom probe tomography analyses reveal Cu precipitation during deposition and subsequent aging. Synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction provides exact phase fractions, including martensite and austenite. Moreover, long idle time contributes to improved yield strength and elongation.

Summary: Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing has achieved wide-scale technology readiness, but challenges remain due to the complex nature of the process. This study comprehensively investigates the size effect on defects, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties in two build orientations for larger samples (up to 12 mm) using fixed process parameters. Microstructural differences were observed between orientations, but no considerable size effect was found. Porosity content decreased with increasing feature size, leading to increased ductility, particularly in the horizontal specimens. Anisotropy was evident in the mechanical properties of specimens oriented parallel to the build direction. The severity of the size effect dynamically changes based on the size range.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the processability of Rene 80 using laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF). By optimizing the laser power, scan speed, and hatching distance, the crack density and pore area fraction of the alloy were minimized. Five sets of parameters were selected that resulted in a crack density lower than 100 μm/mm² and a pore fraction between 0.045% and 0.085%. The intra-print and inter-print repeatability of the optimal parameter sets were studied, showing consistent porosity values and low variation in crack density. Microstructural features of the alloy were also investigated after achieving optimal densification.

Summary: Inconel 625 (IN625) superalloys can be easily fabricated using the laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) process, but controlling thermally induced stresses is a challenge. A standard stress-relieving (SR) heat treatment is not suitable for additively manufactured IN625 due to the early formation of undesired delta phase. This research investigates lower temperature SR treatments and their effects on residual stress, microstructure, and mechanical properties. The results show that an alternative SR treatment at temperatures between 750 and 800 degrees C can mitigate residual stresses without significant delta phase formation.

Summary: The microstructures of intermetallic gamma-titanium aluminide alloys processed by EB-PBF are affected by Al evaporation, which is mainly determined by the process parameters. The current work aims to reduce Al-loss and microstructure inhomogeneity by using low energetic parameters and high beam speed in the pre-heating and melting steps during EB-PBF. The results showed that the HIP treatment effectively densified the capsules and reduced the area shrinkage, and applying low energetic parameters during melting decreased the formation of previous particle boundaries and resulted in smaller alpha(2) concentration and size.

Summary: Metastable beta Ti alloys based on the Ti-Nb system have attracted attention due to their unique properties. However, the unstable cyclic behavior of these alloys has hindered their widespread industrial use. Recent studies have shown that internal stresses, including those from dislocations, may be responsible for this behavior. This study demonstrates that inter-cycle thermal treatments can mitigate the unstable cyclic behavior, providing a significant breakthrough in our understanding of Ti-Nb superelastic materials.

Summary: This paper systematically investigated the evolution of microstructure in Fe-Ni-Co-Al polycrystalline alloys and its effects on mechanical properties. The results revealed that the migration of grain boundaries in different processes is driven by different factors, which impacts the grain orientation and precipitate formation. In the process of directional recrystallization, grains with specific orientations grow in the grain boundary region and form the dominant orientation, while grains with lower migration rate form the minor orientation. The alloy produced through directional recrystallization exhibited good recoverable strain and superelastic strain, while the alloy produced through solid solution treatment showed no evident superelastic behavior.

Summary: This study employed laser metal deposition to additively manufacture Ti-15Mo wt% alloy, and subsequently subjected it to post-fabrication uniaxial thermomechanical processing. The results showed that different zones in the microstructure remained after processing, and deformation mechanisms mainly involved slip and martensite formation. The compressive mechanical properties were found to be dependent on strain rate, with higher flow stress and compressive strength observed at higher strain rates. Grain structure homogenisation was not achieved, leading to anisotropic tensile properties.

The results showed that dynamic tensile deformation led to an increase in yield strength and a decrease in ultimate tensile strength, with a trend towards increased total elongation. The primary deformation mechanisms shifted from TRIP and TWIP effects to deformation twinning and dislocations. The presence of carbides formed through C-doping hindered dislocation slip and promoted the activation of multiple twinning systems.
