Abstract In Additive Manufacture (AM), with the widely used titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, the
solidification conditions typically result in undesirable, coarse-columnar, primary β grain …

Abstract Electron Backscattering Diffraction (EBSD) provides important information to
discriminate phase transformation products in steels. This task is conventionally performed …

Based on mechanical tests, microstructure characterizations and finite element simulations,
the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of resistance spot welds (RSWs) were …

Understanding the complex phase transformations during additive manufacturing (AM) of
low-alloy multi-phase steels is a necessary task to discover the mechanisms that lead to …

This study systematically evaluated the impact of dual-phase zone annealing on the
microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-rolled 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel (FSS) …

In this study, the additive manufacturing of a functionally graded material (FGM) via directed
