Abstract 4D printing refers to single-material or multi-material printing of a device or object
that can be transformed from a 1D strand into pre-programed 3D shape, from a 2D surface …

The introduction of 4D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Current
research indicates that 4D printing, although at a nascent stage, is a promising technology …

The gas metal arc welding (GMAW) based wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process
has been employed to deposit 5-layered NiTi alloy on the Titanium substrate using Ni 50.9 …

Products made from additive manufacturing processes have attracted great attention in
engineering, health care, and society at large. However, there is little knowledge about the …

Abstract 316L SS with different Nb content (0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 wt%) coatings were
fabricated on Q235 steel plate by laser cladding. The addition of Nb made the phase …

In this paper, the rapid synthesis of nanostructured NiTi–Ni 3 Ti intermetallic alloy from
titanium and nickel powders through mechanical alloying followed by microwave-assisted …

NiTi alloys are a remarkable class of materials capable of exhibiting unique behaviors such
as shape memory effect and superelasticity. Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), as one of the …

We report on a reliable and cost-effective method (alkali corrosion) to construct nanosheet
layers on nearly equiatomic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, which only needs to immerse it in1 …

Two kinds of 60NiTi powders were prepared by pure Ni mixed with Ti powders, and 55NiTi
alloy powder with pure Ni powder and both the powders were fully mixed by alcohol ball …

Nanostructured tantalum nitride coatings are widely used in biomedical engineering due to
the good hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In this work, TaN and Ta/TaN …
