Predictive analytical modelling and experimental validation of processing maps in additive manufacturing of nitinol alloys

Nitinol (NiTi) shape memory alloys fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) Additive Manufacturing (AM) have attracted much attention in recent years, as compared with conventional manufacturing processes it allows to produce Nitinol parts with high design complexity. Avoidance of defects during L-PBF is crucial for the production of...
