T1 - Advances in Laser Additive Manufacturing of Ti-Nb Alloys: From Nanostructured Powders to Bulk Objects N2 - The additive manufacturing of low elastic modulus alloys that have a certain level of porosity for biomedical needs is a growing area of research. Here, we show the results of manufacturing of porous and dense samples by a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of Ti-Nb alloy, using two distinctive fusion strategies. The nanostructured Ti-Nb alloy powders were produced by mechanical alloying and have a nanostructured state with nanosized grains up to 90 nm. The manufactured porous samples have pronounced open porosity and advanced roughness, contrary to dense samples with a relatively smooth surface profile. The structure of both types of samples after LPBF is formed by uniaxial grains having micro- and nanosized features. The inner structure of the porous samples is comprised of an open interconnected system of pores. The volume fraction of isolated porosity is 2 vol. % and the total porosity is 20 vol. %. Cell viability was assessed in vitro for 3 and 7 days using the MG63 cell line. With longer culture periods, cells showed an increased cell density over the entire surface of a porous Ti-Nb sample. Both types of samples are not cytotoxic and could be used for further in vivo studies.

The residual stress is monitored non-destructively using neutron diffraction before and after the heat treatment. Moreover, the evolution of the microstructure is analysed using scanning electron microscopy. The results show, that a strong relaxation of the residual stress is obtained when applying a heat treatment temperature at 900°C. However, the loss of the cellular substructure needs to be considered when applying this heat treatment strategy.

The present work highlights that contour scanning is crucial to ensure geometrical accuracy and thereby the high performance under uniaxial compression of complex Alloy 718 lattice structures. Studies of X-ray computed tomography visualizations of as-built and compression-strained structures reveal the continuous and smooth bending and compression of the walls, and the earlier onset of internal contact appearance in the denser lattices printed with contour. In contrast, the effect of addition of He to the Ar process gas appears to have limited influence on the mechanical response of the lattices and their microstructure as characterized by electron backscattered diffraction. However, the addition of He proved to significantly enhance the cooling rate and to reduce the amount of the generated spatters as evidenced by in situ monitoring of the process emissions, which is very promising for the process stability and powder reusability during laser powder bed fusion.

The lattice strain evolution was obtained parallel and transversal to the loading direction. The elastic constants were determined and compared with the conventionally manufactured alloy. In the plastic regime, a lower plastic anisotropy exhibited by the lattice planes was observed along the load axis (parallel to the building direction) than in the transverse direction. Also, the load transfer from α to β phase was observed, increasing global ductility of the material. The material seems to accumulate a significant amount of intergranular strain in the transverse direction.

Since quality control is made by means of different online and offline imaging techniques (e.g. Thermography, X-ray and Optical Computer Tomography), image registration plays an important role in addressing these challenges. This paper introduces the main motivation, challenges, and research gaps of image registration in Additive Manufacturing. Furthermore, it introduces the main transformations, registration methods, similarity matrices and accuracy measurement. The main aim of the paper is to present a comprehensive review on the available methods for image registration in Additive Manufacturing based on the measurement techniques. Various registration methods, including landmark-based, point cloud-based, image intensity-based, and shape-based techniques, are examined in their applications for quality control, defect detection, and distortion quantification.

This study explores the effect of a range of stripe widths from 5 mm down to 0.2 mm to control solidification cracking, microstructure, and residual stress in CM247LC manufactured by PBF-LB. The decrease in melt pool depth with the reduction in stripe width from 5 to 0.2 mm promoted the < 100 > crystallographic texture along the build direction. The crack density measurements indicated that there is an increase from 0.62 mm/mm2 (5 mm) to 1.71 mm/mm2 (1 mm) followed by a decrease to 0.33 mm/mm2 (0.2 mm). Atom probe tomography investigations at high-angle grain boundaries revealed that there is higher Hf segregation in 0.2 mm stripe width when compared to 5 mm. This indicates that the cracking behavior is likely influenced by the grain boundary segregation which in turn is dependent on melt pool shape/size and mushy zone length indicated by accompanying simulations. Residual stress, measured by X-ray diffraction, decreased from 842 MPa (5 mm) to 690 MPa (1 mm), followed by an abnormal rise to 842 MPa (0.7 mm) and 875 MPa (0.5 mm). This residual stress behavior is likely associated with the cracks acting as a stress relief mechanism. However, the 0.2 mm stripe width exhibited the lowest stress of 647 MPa, suggesting a different mechanism for stress relief, possibly due to re-melting. These findings highlight the critical role of stripe width as a scan strategy in PBF-LB processing of crack-susceptible alloys.

The observations were performed in-situ using the Ultrafast Tomography Paris-Edinburgh Cell and the combination of fast phase-contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography and energy dispersive difraction. With this strategy, we could quantify how the efectiveness of HIP depends on the characteristics of a defect. Smaller defects showed a higher densifcation rate, while the defect shape did not have signifcant efect on such rate.

In the present study, four different scan strategies and their impact on the development of microstructure, texture, and residual stresses in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of a nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 was investigated. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with electron backscatter diffraction, and neutron diffraction were used as the characterization tools. Strong textures with epitaxially grown columnar grains were observed along the build direction for the two individual scan strategies. Patterns depicting the respective scan strategies were visible in the build plane, which dictated the microstructure development in the other planes. An alternating strategy combining the individual strategies in the successive layers and a 67◦ rotational strategy weakened the texture by forming finer microstructural features. Von Mises equivalent stress plots revealed lower stress values and gradients, which translates as lower distortions for the alternating and rotational strategies. Overall results confirmed the scope for manipulating the microstructure, texture, and residual stresses during laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing by effectively controlling the scan strategies.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Influence of a 265 °C heat treatment on the residual stress state of a PBF-LB/M AlSi10Mg alloy N2 - Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) additive manufacturing (AM) induces high magnitude residual stress (RS) in structures due to the extremely heterogeneous cooling and heating rates. As the RS can be deleterious to the fatigue resistance of engineering components, great efforts are focused on understanding their generation and evolution after post-process heat treatments. In this study, one of the few of its kind, the RS relaxation induced in an as-built PBF-LB/M AlSi10Mg material by a low-temperature heat treatment (265 °C for 1 h) is studied by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction. Since the specimens are manufactured using a baseplate heated up to 200 °C, low RS are found in the as-built condition. After heat treatment a redistribution of the RS is observed, while their magnitude remains constant. It is proposed that the redistribution is induced by a repartition of stresses between the a-aluminium matrix and the silicon phase, as the morphology of the silicon phase is affected by the heat treatment. A considerable scatter is observed in the neutron diffraction RS profiles, which is principally correlated to the presence (or absence) of pockets of porosity developed at the borders of the chessboard pattern.

To address these limitations, this study investigates chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) as a surface finishing method for improving surface quality and modifying the residual stress state in PBF-LB 316 L stainless steel. The work uniquely examines how scan rotation (0◦ vs. 67◦ rotation) and contour parameters influence CMP effectiveness in material removal, surface smoothing, and subsurface stress redistribution. With a targeted material removal of 110 μm, CMP reduced surface roughness (Sa) by up to 94 %, achieving values as low as 0.7 μm. Microstructural analysis revealed no grain refinement but identified a thin, plastically deformed surface layer. This plastic deformation resulted in the transformation of tensile surface stresses (340 MPa) into beneficial compressive stresses (􀀀 400 MPa), as confirmed by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, which also showed a shift toward isotropic strain distribution. Further, these findings demonstrate that the initial scan strategy influences CMP performance and that CMP can enhance both surface integrity and mechanical reliability without altering the underlying microstructure. This study advances the understanding of how process induced microstructure and surface features affect CMP outcomes, enabling more informed design of post-processing strategies for improved surface integrity and mechanical performance in additively manufactured metals.
