This work studied microstructural evolution, precipitate behaviors, and micro-hardness
distribution along the built direction of directed energy deposited IN718 alloy. In combination …

The high thermal gradients during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process induce an
inhomogeneous microstructure with anisotropic mechanical properties. This study …

High-cost pre-alloyed powder is the bottleneck problem that limits the widespread
application of additive-manufactured shape memory alloys. In this work, the low-cost ternary …

Revealing underlying mechanisms of IN718 superalloy's negative strain rate sensitivity
behavior at elevated temperatures is significantly important for its further applications in …

Zinc (Zn) alloys have recently revolutionized and shown promising usage for degradable
biomedical implants (BMI). However, due to the low strength of pure Zn, its application in the …

Heat treatment is an effective post-treatment method for improving the mechanical properties
