Abstract:This study focuses on the control of density and grain structure of a superelastic Ti-18Zr-14Nb (at. %) alloy subjected to laser powder bed fusion. It starts with the production and characterization of a Ti-18Zr-14Nb powder feedstock and printing of a series of calibration specimens. These specimens are next subjected to chemical, structural, phase and texture analyses in order to collect experimental data needed to build simulation-driven processing maps in the laser energy density–material build rate coordin… Show more
“…Against this background and paying attention to the latest developments, Ewald et al [5] innovatively applied laser powder bed fusion to produce crack-free samples of a low-cost Fe-based SMA and achieved a good shape recovery by means of an optimized heat treatment route. Applying a different approach to achieve optimized materials, Brailovski et al [6] demonstrated that simulation-driven processing maps can be used to relate the main laser powder bed fusion parameters to the control of density and grain structure of superelastic Ti-18Zr-14Nb alloys. To complete this section of the Special Issue, NiTi, as the most successful SMA, also produced via additive manufacturing could not be absent.…”
Shape memory alloys (SMAs), in comparison to other materials, have the exceptional ability to change their properties, structures, and functionality, depending on the thermal, magnetic, and/or stress fields applied[...]

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
