Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Microstructure of Directionally Solidified Nickel Alloy After SLM

The paper investigates the effect of hot isostatic pressing of single-crystal nickel-based alloy manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) with a high-temperature substrate preheating. A study of the structure and phase composition of the material before and after treatment has been carried out. It was found that as a result of such...

Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and properties of selective laser melted titanium aluminide alloy

Titanium aluminide alloys are considered to be attractive materials for aerospace and automotive high-temperature applications due to their high specific strength, creep resistance, and heat resistance. However, their brittleness makes it difficult to manufacture complex-shaped components of these alloys using conventional processes making...
