On the Impact of Build Envelope Sizes on E-PBF Processed Pure Iron
(2021-11-17)
In additive manufacturing, the thermal history of a part determines its final microstructural and mechanical properties. The factors leading to a specific temperature profile are diverse. For the integrity of a parameter setting established, periphery variations must also be considered. In the present study, iron was processed by electron beam powder bed fusion. Parts realized by two process runs featuring different build plate sizes were analyzed. It is shown that the process temperature differs significantly, ...

Hot Work Tool Steel Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion: A Review on Most Relevant Influencing Factors
(2021-03-26)
As a representative of a common carbon-bearing hot work tool steel AISI H13 is in focus of the present review paper. Most relevant details for processing of AISI H13 by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) are systematically investigated. Three common stages of process parameter development and material assessment, respectively, are in focus: general processibility, process refinement, and deduction of process–microstructure–property relations, i.e., understanding of the interplay of relevant elementary mechanisms. On the ...

CuCrZr processed by laser powder bed fusion — Processability and influence of heat treatment on electrical conductivity, microstructure and mechanical properties
(2021-06-16)
CuCrZr parts were fabricated by laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) technique and subjected to different heat treatments. As a result, four different conditions were considered for further investigations, that is, the as-built condition, conditions of maximum hardness (MH) and maximum electrical conductivity (MC), and a condition representing a compromise between hardness and conductivity (H&C). Microstructural evolution and performance under monotonic and cyclic loading were studied. Fracture surfaces revealed ...

On the Microstructural and Cyclic Mechanical Properties of Pure Iron Processed by Electron Beam Melting
(2021-03-10)
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as electron beam melting (EBM) are characterized by unprecedented design freedom. Topology optimization and design of the microstructure of metallic materials are enabled by rapid progress in this field. The latter is of highest importance as many applications demand appropriate mechanical as well as functional material properties. For instance, biodegradable implants have to meet mechanical properties of human bone and at the same time guarantee adequate cytocompatibility ...

Thermal Stability of Residual Stresses in Differently Deep Rolled Surface Layers of Steel SAE 1045
(2021-05-07)
The stability of compressive residual stresses generated by deep rolling plays a decisive role on the fatigue behavior of specimens and components, respectively. In this regard, deep rolling at elevated temperature has proven to be very effective in stabilizing residual stresses when fatigue analysis is conducted at ambient temperature. However, since residual stresses can be affected not only by plastic deformation but also when thermal energy is provided, it is necessary to analyze the influence of temperature and ...

Cooling rate as a process parameter in advanced roll forming to tailor microstructure,mechanical and corrosion properties of EN AW 7075 tubes
(2022-12-14)
The effects of solution heat treatment parameters and quench media as a processing tool for tailoring microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties in roll forming of EN AW 7075 alloy were studied. The highest yield stress and ultimate tensile strength were obtained for the specimens quenched in water, while the air-cooled specimens exhibited inferior mechanical properties. Microstructural analysis of specimens showed that except water-quenched specimens, the parts cooled/quenched in oil, in direct contact with ...

Ultra-high performance alkali-activated slag as a reusable mold for light metal casting
(2023-12-06)
Light metal die casting is usually performed using steel molds. However, these lead to a reduced quality of the casting due to the occurrence of metal corrosion on the surface and the incorporation of hydrogen into the casting as a result of required process chemistry. Ultra-high performance concrete based on alkali-activated slag can be used to produce mineral molds for aluminum casting. The use of reusable mineral molds not only enables the production of various thin-walled geometries. The risk of metal corrosion ...

Numerical detection of synchronization phenomena in quasi-periodic solutions
(2023-10-05)
In science and technology, dynamical systems can show so-called quasi-periodic solutions. These solutions are composed of two or more base frequencies. The solution in the time domain can be represented by an invariant manifold. To parametrize the invariant manifold, we choose the hyper-time parametrization. If quasi-periodic solutions branches are continued by means of a path continuation, the phenomenon of synchronization may occur. This is important, because the hyper-time parametrization is only valid, as long ...

Neural network interatomic potential for laser-excited materials
(2023-08-15)
Data-driven interatomic potentials based on machine-learning approaches have been increasingly used to perform large-scale, first-principles quality simulations of materials in the electronic ground state. However, they are not able to describe situations in which the electrons are excited, like in the case of material processing by means of femtosecond laser irradiation or ion bombardment. In this work, we propose a neural network interatomic potential with an explicit dependency on the electronic temperature. Taking ...

Latent heat effects in inductive heating of shape memory alloy fibers
(2023-11-23)
Motivation of the present work is an inductive heating process, used in manufacturing a new kind of improved ultra-high performance concrete. In this novel material, fibers made out of shape memory alloys are used to increase the maximum possible fiber volume fraction, or to create an internal state of compressive stress. In contrast to other works, the underlying microstructure transformation from martensite to austenite is highlighted based on thermal analysis. Dynamic scanning calorimetry measurements are adapted ...
