Quantification of Grain Boundary Segregation in Nanocrystalline Material

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how this can be achieved using an approach that combines the accuracy of structural characterization in transmission electron microscopy with the 3D chemical sensitivity of atom probe tomography, which indicates that ω is the most influential crystallographic parameter in this regime.

Alloys-by-design: Application to new superalloys for additive manufacturing

TL;DR: In this paper, a new grade of γ/γ′ nickel-based superalloy for the additive manufacturing process is designed using computational approaches, taking account of the need to avoid defect formation via solidification and solid-state cracking.

About metastable cellular structure in additively manufactured austenitic stainless steels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the most recent research momentum regarding the formation mechanisms (elemental segregation, dislocation cell and oxide inclusion), the kinetics of the size and morphology, the growth orientation and the thermodynamic stability of these cellular structures by taking AM austenitic stainless steel as an exemplary material.

In situ site-specific specimen preparation for atom probe tomography.

TL;DR: The current results demonstrate that specific regions of interest can be accessed and preserved throughout the sample-preparation process and that this preparation method leads to high-quality atom probe analysis of such nano-structures.

A New Hot-Tearing Criterion

TL;DR: In this article, a new criterion for the appearance of hot tears in metallic alloys is proposed, based upon a mass balance performed over the liquid and solid phases, which accounts for the tensile deformation of the solid skeleton perpendicular to the growing dendrites and for the induced interdendritic liquid feeding.

The influence of the laser scan strategy on grain structure and cracking behaviour in SLM powder-bed fabricated nickel superalloy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used optical and SEM micrographs to show the observed grain structure in the SLM fabricated and Hot Isostatically Pressed (HIPped) material and found that the repeating pattern shown in the grain structure has been linked to the overlapping of the "island" pattern used as standard in the Concept Laser M2 powder-bed facility.

Site specific control of crystallographic grain orientation through electron beam additive manufacturing

TL;DR: In this paper, columnar to equiaxed transitions during solidification were used to promote the growth of highly misoriented micron scale grains outlining the letters D, O and E, through the thickness of a 25·4 mm tall bulk block comprised of primarily columnar oriented grains made of the nickel base superalloy Inconel 718.
