Selective Laser Melting Produced Ti-6Al-4V: Post-Process Heat Treatments to Achieve Superior Tensile Properties
TL;DR: It was found that elongated α’/α grains can be fragmented into equiaxial grains through applying a high temperature annealing strategy and bi-modal microstructures achieve a superior tensile ductility to current heat treated selective laser melting produced Ti-6Al-4V samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
The achievable mechanical properties of SLM produced Maraging Steel 300 components
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a SLM-produced maraging steel 300 (18Ni-300), an iron-nickel steel alloy often used in applications where high fracture toughness and strength are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture and fatigue in additively manufactured metals
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the structure-property correlations in AM alloys is provided, with an emphasis on the interplay between the microstructures and process attributes in determining the structural integrity of AM components in terms of properties such as near-threshold fatigue crack growth rate, fracture toughness, and fatigue strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residual stress measurements and structural integrity implications for selective laser melted TI-6al-4v#
TL;DR: In this article, a hole-drilling strain gauge method was used to evaluate residual stresses within SLM Ti-6Al-4V specimens, with the intention of understanding the associated mechanisms for the successful application of SLM in industry.
