Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has attracted great interest in the aerospace and medical sectors because it can produce complex and lightweight parts with high accuracy. Austenitic stainless steel alloy 316 L is widely used in many applications due to its good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. In this study, L-PBF-processed 316 L was investigated for its suitability in aerospace applications at cryogenic service temperatures and the behavior at cryogenic temperature was compared with room temperature to understand the properties and microstructural changes within this temperature range. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature and at −196 °C to study the mechanical performance and phase changes. The microstructure and fracture surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results showed a significant increase in the strength of 316 L at −196 °C, while its ductility remained at an acceptable level. The results indicated the formation of ε and α martensite during cryogenic testing, which explained the increase in strength. Nanoindentation revealed different hardness values, indicating the different mechanical properties of austenite (γ), strained austenite, body-centered cubic martensite (α), and hexagonal close-packed martensite (ε) formed during the tensile tests due to mechanical deformation.

Aluminium chips were re-melted under the molten bath in a gas fired reverberatory furnace and superior quality recycled AA6061-T6 alloy was synthesized. The chips were added 5 to 20% by weight in the recycled alloy. The furnace charge included clean scrap of the same alloy (AA6061) along with the machining chips or tunings of mixed nature. The chips used in this study were mostly generated from lath/bore operations carried on homogenized billets. The fabricated alloy of each heat was characterized for microstructures, mechanical properties and fracture behavior. The results showed that the metallurgical and mechanical performance of the recycled alloy was comparable to the primary alloy. However, SEM analysis of the recycled alloy revealed a sizeable amount of Fe and Si containing intermetallic compounds such as AlFeSi, AlFeMg, and AlSiMg phases.

Finite element modeling (FEM) was used for numerical simulations of mechanical performance of aperiodic silicon-carbide scaffold manufactured by robocasting. The FEM approach enabled reliable calculation of theeffective anisotropic elastic properties of the scaffold at the macro-scale, as well as of the acoustic band structureindicating the metamaterial-like behavior of the material at the micro-scale. In addition, the micromechanics of thescaffold was discussed based on the outputs of the model: the mechanisms of the extremely soft shearing modes wereidentified and the corresponding stress concentrations arising at the contact points in the scaffold were analyzedwith respect to the possible failure modes of the robocast structure.

Tensile properties and deformation-fracture behavior at temperatures ranging from 123K to 293K of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet with a thickness of 1.5mm has been studied, and the effects of testing temperature, specimen orientation and heat-treatment were investigated. An increase in strength and a decrease in fracture strain were found with decreasing tension temperature, and the anisotropy in tensile properties was observed at room and cryogenic temperatures both in the annealed and solution treated and aged (STA) specimens. TEM examinations indicated that plastic deformation occurred within both α and β phases in the STA specimens testing at either room or cryogenic temperature. The dominant deformation mechanism varied from dislocation slip at room temperature to twinning at 123K. SEM observations showed that the amount of dimples and tearing grains on fractured surfaces of the specimens decreased as testing temperature was decreased.
