Fabrication of FeMnSi-based shape memory alloy components with graded-microstructures by laser powder bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Nicolò Maria Della Ventura

This work demonstrates the tailoring of the microstructure of two FeMnSi-based shape memory alloys during laser powder bed fusion. Significant variations in the microstructure of the parts can be induced by modifying the scanning speed or the scanning stra ...

Evolution of deformation twinning mechanisms in magnesium from low to high strain rates

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Johann Michler, Xavier Maeder, Amit Sharma, Nicolò Maria Della Ventura, Manish Jain

We present a systematic investigation of {10 (1) over bar2} extension twinning mechanism in single crystal magnesium micropillars deformed over seven orders of magnitude of strain rate, from 10(-4) to 500 s(-1), revealing how the accommodation of newly for ...

Deformation twinning mechanism in magnesium at the microscale: strain rate, temperature and orientation effects

Nicolò Maria Della Ventura

The project aims to validate some recent theoretical developments on the deformation twinning nucleation mechanism in HCP metals through small-scale mechanic experiments. To this end, a systematic investigation of the mechanical response of pure magnesium ...

{10(1)over-bar2} twinning mechanism during in situ micro-tensile loading of pure Mg: Role of basal slip and twin-twin interactions

Roland Logé, Johann Michler, Xavier Maeder, Amit Sharma, Daniele Casari, Nicolò Maria Della Ventura

An SEM in situ uniaxial tensile testing setup allowing HR-EBSD acquisition during deformation was used to study the extension twinning mechanism in magnesium(Mg) at the micron scale. Structures were fabricated with two different crystal orientations, respe ...
