Laser (LBW) and Electron Beam (EBW) welding have been used to produce seams on 2 mm thick plates of directionally solidified (DS) IN792 superalloy. For each welding technique a grid of samples were prepared by varying the pass speed (v) and keeping constant the other process parameters. The experiments were carried out at room temperature and with pre-heating (PHT) at 200 °C and 300 °C to find the best process conditions. The microstructural changes in molten zone (MZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) were investigated finding that EBW guarantee a better quality and efficiency of the process without any macro defects. About the microstructure, the amount of ordered γ’ phase in the MZ is similar (≈ 25 %) for both welding techniques and quite lower than the value (70 %) of the original alloy.

Electron beam (EB) welding has been used to realize the seams on 2 mm thick plates of directionally solidified (DS) IN792 superalloy. A grid of the samples has been prepared by varying the pass speed v from 1 to 2.5 m/min, while the other process parameters (power P = 1 kW, acceleration voltage T = 50 kV, beam current I = 20 mA) were kept constant. Experiments were carried out both at room temperature and with pre-heating at 200 °C or 300 °C.Once found the best process conditions (pre-heating at 300 °C; v = 2.5 m/min) the effect of post-welding heat treatments at 700 and 750 °C for increasing time up to 2 hours has been investigated.

This study aims at analyzing process-induced pores in selective laser melting (SLM), a laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) process. Porosity is one of the most problematic defects in SLM parts; it impairs the part performance, and yet, is sharply sensitive to the parameters of the SLM process itself. Detailed analysis of SLM pore formations using a computed tomography (CT) technique is desired in order to understand the porosity level under different process conditions. In this study, an SLM system was used to fabricate samples, using Ti-6Al-4V powder, with single tracks formed, at 60 μm layer thickness, with different laser powers and scanning speeds to vary the energy density. A micro-CT (μ-CT) scanner was used to measure the internal features of the SLM specimens without any post-build treatments and to analyze the porosity inside single tracks formed with different energy densities. There are different mechanisms of pore formation in SLM, in particular, this study first focuses on the pore formation due to the keyhole phenomenon, caused by a high energy density. μ-CT scanning at a 6 μm resolution is able to clearly reveal the pores in the SLM samples. From the CT scan and analysis results, it is observed that increasing the energy density increases the volume of pores. For example, with 195 W and 200 mm/s, the number of pores is 93 and the total pore volume is 0.014 mm3 for a scanning length of 12 mm. On the other hand, if the energy density is less than 0.24 J/mm, few or no pores were observed, because possibly the melting process changes from the keyhole mode to the conduction mode.

<div> <div><span>Solar type III radio bursts contain a wealth of information about the dynamics of near-relativistic electron beams in the solar corona and the inner heliosphere; this information is currently unobtainable through other means.  Whilst electron beams expand along their trajectory, the motion of different regions of an electron beam (front, middle, and back) had never been systematically analysed before.  Using LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) observations between 30-70 MHz of type III radio bursts, and kinetic simulations of electron beams producing derived type III radio brightness temperatures, we explored the expansion as electrons propagate away from the Sun.  From relatively moderate intensity type III bursts, we found mean electron beam speeds for the front, middle and back of 0.2, 0.17 and 0.15 c, respectively.  Simulations demonstrated that the electron beam energy density, controlled by the initial beam density and energy distribution have a significant effect on the beam speeds, with high energy density beams reaching front and back velocities of 0.7 and 0.35 c, respectively.  Both observations and simulations found that higher inferred velocities correlated with shorter FWHM durations of radio emission at individual frequencies.  Our radial predictions of electron beam speed and expansion can be tested by the upcoming in situ electron beam measurements made by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe.</span></div> </div>
