Verification of selective laser melting heat source models with operando X-ray diffraction data

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Samy Hocine

The output obtained from operando X-ray diffraction experiments on Ti-6Al-4V is used to verify the accuracy of four FEM models in predicting the temperature evolution of the solidified domain, the cooling rates of the alpha and beta phases, and the influen ...

Characterization, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass manufactured via laser powder-bed fusion

Roland Logé, Jamasp Jhabvala, Steven Van Petegem, Navid Sohrabi, Antonia Neels, Annapaola Parrilli, Güven Kurtuldu, Efthymios Polatidis

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are high-strength, highly elastic materials due to their disordered atomic structure. Because BMGs require sufficiently high cooling rates to bypass crystallization, laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) methods have recently ...

Operando X-ray diffraction during laser 3D printing

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Samy Hocine, Nicola Casati

Laser based additive manufacturing allows to build a designed shape layer-by-layer, offering versatility and flexibility to many metallurgical sectors. The fast cooling rates and repeated heat cycles depending on the laser and scanning parameters are not e ...

Influence of thermo-mechanical history on the ordering kinetics in 18 carat Au alloys

Nadine Baluc, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Marina Garcia Gonzalez

Precious alloys are subjected to a series of mechanical and thermal operations during manufacturing. For 18 carat gold alloys the processing operations can induce L1(0) ordered nanodomains, known to lead to the buildup of residual stresses, which are the p ...

A miniaturized selective laser melting device for operando X-ray diffraction studies

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Samy Hocine, Nicola Casati

We report on the development of a miniaturized device for operando X-ray diffraction during laser 3D printing. The printing chamber has a size of only 130 x 135 x 34 mm(3) and is optimized to be installed at synchrotron beamlines. We describe the design co ...

Enhanced precipitate growth at reduced temperatures during chemical ordering in deformed red gold alloys

Nadine Baluc, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Marina Garcia Gonzalez, Samy Hocine

Manufacturing of red gold components relies widely on controlling the formation of ordered precipitates during thermo-mechanical processing. The ordered phase hardens the material, makes it less workable and introduces residual stresses. We show that an in ...

Laue microdiffraction characterisation of as-cast and tensile deformed Al microwires

Andreas Mortensen, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Léa Deillon, Steven Van Petegem, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

Single-crystalline cast aluminium microwires with a diameter near 15 are characterised by Laue microdiffraction. A microwire in the as-cast condition exhibits a misorientation below over a length of 500 . The measured density of geometrically necessary dis ...

Deformation and degradation of superelastic NiTi under multiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Wei-Neng Hsu, Nicola Casati, Efthymios Polatidis

The degradation of the superelastic properties of a commercial NiTi alloy is studied during uniaxial, biaxial and load-path-change cycling performed in-situ with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Careful examination of the diffraction pattern during uniaxial ...

In situ tension-tension strain path changes of cold-rolled Mg AZ31B

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem

The mechanical behavior of cold-rolled Mg AZ31B is studied during in-plane multiaxial loading and tension-tension strain path changes performed on cruciform samples using in situ neutron diffraction and EBSD. The results are compared with uniaxial tension ...
