The structure, phase, morphology and composition of HEA powders were analysed and the results revealed that the AlFeMnTiSi0.75Cu x HEAs exhibited a multiphase structure. Additionally, after sintering at 900 °C, the formation of BCC, µ and L21 phases in the densified HEAs was enhanced. The investigation of the hardness, nanoindentation and compressive properties revealed that the microstructural and mechanical properties of AlFeMnTiSi0.75Cu x HEAs were improved at the optimal Cu fraction (0.25 molar ratio). The nanoindentation results revealed that the AlFeMnTiSi0.75Cu x HEAs exhibited the highest hardness and elastic modulus (HIT = 19.2 GPa, EIT = 336 GPa). These results improve the current understanding of multiphase HEAs and may pave way for the development of advanced HEAs with superior mechanical properties.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42611270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the powder flowability characterisation at preheating temperature is important for powder spreading processes. However, devices for traditional powder flowability characterising methods are mainly designed for specific conditions at room temperature and cannot consider the effect of temperature on powder flowability. In this work, an experimental platform with a heated rotating drum was set up and a high-speed camera was used to record powder avalanche processes in a heated rotating drum for the powder flowability characterisation at preheating temperature. Nylon and stainless steel powder flowability at different temperatures was assessed by the statistical analysis of avalanche angle, avalanche time, arithmetic mean deviation and surface linearity of powder surface profile. Four parameters provide a good characterisation of powder flowability. The results can provide guidance for the powder flowability characterisation method at preheating temperature in AM.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47894205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixtures of elemental Cu and B powders with the B contents varying between 10 and 40 at.-% were consolidated into round bars by hot extrusion. The addition of B significantly refined the grain structure, which is related to the suppression of dynamic recrystallisation during hot extrusion and extended recovery during subsequent annealing. Such fine-grained structure in Cu–B composites together with dispersion hardening by B particles contributed to the higher hardness of Cu–B composites. The thermal conductivity of Cu–B composites, being roughly two times higher than that of Al–B4C MMC, decreases with increasing the B contents, which is mainly due to higher volume fraction B particles with lower thermal conductivity, and partly to texture randomisation and refined grain structure in the Cu–B composites.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43243424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variation of crystallite sizes and lattice strains caused by sintering temperatures was also discussed. In addition, densification mechanisms occurring with the different sintering temperatures have been discussed. The formation of porosity was observed, however, the density of HEAs improved with increasing sintering temperature.

The FE model was employed to calculate the temperature field in the set-up and the sintering specimen itself. A very good correlation of the temperature, current and voltage over the entire process was observed. Our investigations show that the contact conductivities have a significant impact on the process temperature.

With increasing TiC content from 0 to 4 wt-%, significant increases in the hardness from 410 to 480 HV and compressive yield strength from 680 to 1100 MPa, which is mainly due to the grain boundary and dispersion strengthening effects.

For such applications, high fracture toughness and strength are required to withstand thermal fatigue and any defect like pores, lack of fusion and cracks should be avoided so that the durability of the mould is not reduced. Maraging steel is prone to be cracked due to thermal gradients which arise during PBF-LB/M. Moreover, it was recently observed that slight variations in composition led to the crack’s presence, which implied lower mechanical properties. In this study, two powder batches, from the same powder producer, were employed with the same processing parameters.
