Laser powder bed fusion of Fe-based shape memory alloys for novel structural metamaterials and "smart" structures

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a powder-based additive manufacturing (AM) technique, which shows great potential in the production of complex-shaped parts with unprecedented design freedom. In addition, it allows for an active manipulation of the micros ...

Origin of the enhanced pseudo-elasticity of additively manufactured Fe-17Mn-5Si-4Ni-10Cr-(V, C) shape memory alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

This study investigated the origin of the enhanced pseudo-elasticity of additively manufactured vanadium carbide-containing Fe-based shape memory alloys. The aged samples with two different starting microstructures, as-built and solution-treated, showed co ...

Evaluation of Interface and Residual Strain of NiTi Layer Deposited on NiTiX Substrate by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Elyas Ghafoori, Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

This study investigates the microstructure and properties of functionally graded NiTi alloy bilayers. The NiTi layer is printed by laser powder bed fusion on a NiTiX (where X is Hf or Cu) substrate prepared by vacuum arc remelting. Specimens produced with ...

Effect of post-heat treatment conditions on shape memory property in 4D printed Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni shape memory alloy

Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

The influence of post-heat treatment on the microstructure and properties of 4D printed Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni (wt. %) shape memory alloy (SMA) produced via a laser powder bed fusion process is investigated in this study. It is shown that heat-treatment temp ...

Control of microstructure and shape memory properties of a Fe-Mn-Si-based shape memory alloy during laser powder bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

Fe-Mn-Si shape memory alloys are materials, whose functional properties strongly depend on microstructural factors such as grain size and orientation, phase fraction and chemical composition. The present study demonstrates the possibility of microstructure ...
