Microstructure Of The Material

The results of the analysis of works related to the formation of surface microgeometry in the process of selective electron-beam melting are presented, and the physical model of this process is refined. The developing additive technology of selective electron-beam alloying and the directions in which its research is carried out, in particular, the analysis of the metallurgical process, the formation of the microstructure of the material, the formation of microstructure defects, are described. The roughness of the surface of products obtained by the SEBM technology, as well as the microgeometry of surfaces and the mechanisms of its formation, depending on various parameters of the process, are considered.

Selective Electron Beam Melting (SEBM) is a powder bed-based additive manufacturing process for metals. As the electron beam can be moved inertia-free by electromagnetic lenses, the solidification conditions can be deliberately adjusted within the process. This enables control over the local solidification conditions. SEBM typically leads to columnar grain structures. Based on numerical simulation, we demonstrated how technical single crystals develop in IN718 by forcing the temperature gradient along a µ-Helix. The slope of the µ-Helix, i.e., the deviation of the thermal gradient from the build direction, determined the effectiveness of grain selection right up to single crystals.

NiTi is characterized as a shape memory alloy that has found interesting applications from aerospace to biomedical engineering. The use of NiTi in biomedical applications is due to its excellent biocompatibility, shape memory and pseudoelastic properties. These properties make NiTi an excellent candidate for many functional designs in biomedical fields. However, difficulties in manufacturing and processing of this alloy are significant hindrance to widespread applications. Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) such as selective laser and electron beam techniques have provided opportunities in manufacturing complex shaped NiTi parts. In this research paper, we demonstrate manufacturing of NiTi parts using a selective electron beam melting (SEBM) technique. Complete evaluation of physical, chemical and mechanical properties was carried out to determine the suitability of SEBM process. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and metallographic analyses were employed for the thermal and structural characterizations. The obtained results suggest that it is imperative to, and challenging to control the additive manufacturing process in order to obtain the desired microstructures and avoid unwanted texture. An exhaustive heat treatment of the samples after SEBM process might also be necessary.
