Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Mark R. Stoudt, Souzan Hammadi, Carelyn E. Campbell, Eric A. Lass, Maureen E. Williams
Accurate phase fraction analysis is an essential element of microstructural characterization of alloys and often serves as a basis to quantify effects such as heat treatment or mechanical deformation. Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals, due to the

Bayesian automated weighting of aggregated DFT, MD, and experimental data for candidate thermodynamic models of aluminum with uncertainty quantification

December 1, 2021
Author(s)
Francesca Tavazza, Chandler A. Becker, Ursula R. Kattner, Joshua Gabriel, Noah Palson, Thien Duong, Marius Stan
Atomic-scale modeling methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) can predict the thermodynamic properties of materials at a lower cost than experimental measurements. However, their regular usage in thermodynamic model

Thermal Shrinkage Reveals the Feasibility of Pulse-delay Photocuring Technique

D. Potashnikov, E. Caspi, A. Pesach, Q. Tao, J. Rosen, D. Sheptyakov, Hayden Evans, C. Ritter, Z. Salman, P. Bonfa, T. Ouisse, M. Barbier, O. Rivin, A. Keren
We report μSR on the 2D rare earth based parent magnets (Mo 2/3RE 1/3) 2AlC with RE = Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er, and neutron diffraction on the series with RE ≠ Gd (a neutron absorber). By crossing information between the two techniques, we determine the

Sintered powder oxidation variation as a function of build height for titanium alloy produced by electron beam powder-bed fusion

November 26, 2021
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Alejandro Romero, Aldo Rubio, Cesar Terrazas, Francisco Medina, Ryan Wicker, Nik Hrabe
It is well-established that titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) powder oxidizes during electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) due to the high background temperatures resulting from layer preheating and sintering of the powder bed before melting. However, it is
