Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Additively Manufactured Nitinol Shape Memory Alloys

Nitinol shape memory alloys (SMAs) have a unique combination of shape memory capability, making it an attractive material for various engineering and biomedical applications. Additive manufacturing (AM) by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) allows to produce Nitinol net shape parts, which broadens its applications. Due to the high heating and...

Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing of Manganese Aluminium Bronze: Microstructure control for corrosion resistance

Wire and Arc based Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) processes are novel technologies that are seen as promising candidates for fabricating complex 3-Dimensional large scale components. These processes offer avenues to locally tailor metallurgy of the melt pool and thus produce functionally and compositionally graded components for improved...
