However, current manufacturing technologies limit the development of large-size and complex aluminum alloy lattice structures. Herein, a novel unsupported additive manufacturing method based on wire arc-directed energy deposition (WA-DED) was explored for the fabrication of lattice structures. This method realized the continuous forming of unsupported lattice struts by controlling the arc heat input based on the established theoretical models. The models consisted of a heat transfer model taking into account both heat conduction and heat convection for molten pool temperature stabilization, as well as a force model to ensure molten pool force stabilization. Process windows of heat input of unsupported struts were then developed based on the theoretical models followed by validation by numerical simulation. Unsupported nanoparticle-modified aluminum alloy lattice struts with different diameters and angles were fabricated using WA-DED technology, which exhibited refined microstructures with grain sizes smaller than 20 μm and excellent mechanical properties with ultimate strengths and breaking elongation exceeding 400 MPa and 7 %, respectively. Finally, high-quality pyramid lattice structures were efficiently fabricated using the unsupported additive manufacturing method. Overall, the proposed method fills the gap in the efficient preparation of large-size aluminum alloy lattice structures. The developed model can also broadly be extended to the unsupported additive manufacturing of other materials, such as titanium, steel, and magnesium alloys.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":367,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Processing Technology","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 118550"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141963362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding a Cu interlayer serves as an effective solution. Nevertheless, the strengthening of W-Cu-steel joints is restricted because W-Cu and Cu-steel are members of binary immiscible and finite solid solution systems. Thus, accomplishing interface alloying by overcoming the positive generating energy of insoluble systems and opening up interatomic diffusion channels is a crucial issue to be addressed. In this work, casting and brazing technologies were incorporated into bonding W-Cu-steel to provide a high temperature field, as well as the dissolving and wetting of Cu-based liquid phase to refractory W. It is shown that the superior tensile strength of the W/Cu castings-steel brazed joints (∼264 MPa) was achieved, and the joint survived 1000 cycles of thermal fatigue under 1 MW/m². To assess the effects of brazing and casting on the W-Cu-steel joint, a detailed analysis was conducted on the mechanism of atomic diffusion in the joint interface. It is considered that in W-Cu joining, casting provided a higher thermodynamic driving force than brazing, thus achieving better interatomic diffusion and a wider microalloying region. Cu-steel joining achieved good alloying and forming dendritic extensions by intergranular diffusion. Based on the process optimization results, the feasibility of preparing the U-shaped first wall (FW) mock-up with W armor using brazing technology was verified.

This process, named as Laser Directed Energy Deposition of Minimal Ceramic Powder (LDED-MCP), features that the melt pool is generated inwardly because only the substrate participates in forming the melt pool. Furthermore, due to the minimal powder flow rate used and sparse particle-melt pool collision events, ripple formations leading to the convective melt pool flow and inhomogeneous microstructures would be suppressed. Consequently, the produced layer is nearly flat and free of incompletely melted metallic particles, thus minimizing post-machining.

Existing models focus on predicting defects at a given location using the monitoring signals from solely that same location. Hence, these models treat each track or layer independently of the previous and subsequent ones, neglecting potential interdependencies. This study proposed an in-situ, photodiode-based monitoring approach considering inter-hatch and inter-layer effects on porosity formation - factors often overlooked in existing research. Two Ti-6Al-4 V cuboids (10×10×5 mm³) were built with optimized process parameters, with the melt pool continuously monitored at 20 kHz via a co-axially mounted photodiode. The monitoring system captured the integral radiation in the near-infrared spectrum within a field of view centered on the melt pool. The porosity is assessed by X-ray computed tomography (X-CT), serving as ground truth to build supervised machine learning (ML) models. This study considered physical phenomena occurring during the printing process, including remelting of lack of fusion pores by the subsequent layer, keyholes penetrating the current layer hence introducing pores in the layer below, and overlap between adjacent scan tracks. These considerations are critical for a holistic understanding of pore formation mechanisms. Photodiode signals and computed tomography volumes were cropped using windows of four sizes to test the model's pore localization capability. A machine learning model, specifically a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) - Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, was trained to predict porosities using these window sequences. The CNN extracted spatial features from photodiode signals, addressing inter-hatch effects, while the LSTM captured temporal dependencies across layers, addressing inter-layer effects. The results, with the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.91 for pores exceeding 8000 μm³ in volume and 100 μm² in cross-sectional area, demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model in detecting pores-level defects. This high defect prediction and positioning accuracy are essential for process control, providing real-time status of the region of interest and informing the controller of pore positions, thus facilitating intra-layer or inter-layer correction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":367,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Processing Technology","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 118539"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141951036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lap-welding experiments were conducted using three laser modes—fixed core power, fixed ring power, and varying welding speed—to investigate the evolution of material mixing, intermetallic compound distribution, and joint strength under different modes. Our results indicate that the high energy density of the core laser is beneficial for increasing the penetration depths of joints, whereas the large action area of the ring laser is beneficial for improving the stabilities of melt pools. The joint action of the adjustable ring-mode (ARM) laser increased the melting width and depth of the joint, and the mixing of Al and Cu was controlled in the Al-Cu mixed zone at the upper part of the weld, to limit element mixing in the Cu-rich zone of the weld interface and suppress the distribution of intermetallic compounds. In addition, the ring laser induced the aluminum in the upper part of the molten pool to invade from both sides of the interface to the bottom, forming a certain Al invasion depth. This limited the accumulation of intermetallic compounds at the interface, optimized the path of shear fracture propagation, and improved the shear strength of the joint.

Due to the heterogeneous characteristics between the plastic matrix and brittle fibers, the removal mechanism of CFMMCs during processing is exceptionally complex. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (UVAG) shows great advantages in machining difficult-to-cut materials (i.e., ceramics and composites) by changing the motion trajectory between grains and workpieces, effectively reducing grinding force and improving machining quality. However, little is known about the removal mechanism of UVAG for CFMMCs composed of the ductile (i.e., metal matrix) and brittle (i.e., SiC fiber) phases with highly anisotropic structure characteristics. This raises the question of how CFMMCs with heterogeneous components perform under abrasive processing and how to predict their processing forces. Hence, UVAG and conventional grinding (CG) experiments with single CBN grain were carried out on SiC fiber reinforced TC17 matrix composites (SiC_f/TC17) in this work. A grinding force model considering both phases and materials structure from energy aspect was proposed. A theoretical model for suppressing SiC fiber damage has been proposed, which is expected to guide low-damage processing of brittle materials. According to the results, the removal models of CFMMCs are revealed including: i) macro fracture of SiC fiber, ii) neat fracture of SiC fiber, and iii) TC17 matrix massive adhesion on the SiC fiber. Besides, no cracks crossing fibers are observed on the subsurface of SiC fiber under both UVAG and CG due to the good support of the TC17 matrix on SiC fibers.

When <em>a</em>_p is 50 μm, the errors between predicted and experimental values are 7.8 % and 9.1 % for normal forces (<em>F</em>_n) and tangential forces (<em>F</em>_t), respectively. Ultrasound suppresses the severe wear behavior of grains, thereby improving the tool life.

Macrosegregation exhibits a markedly different morphology near the steel-nickel fusion line, which plays an important role in premature creep failure. In this study, it was found that an offset of the laser beam towards the nickel correlated with an increase in macrosegregation. When the laser beam was biased towards the steel, the partially mixed zone (PMZ) and transition zone (TZ) of 9Cr steel were identifiable within the macrosegregation, displaying a distinct solidification mode. Lath martensite and fine austenite formed in the PMZ, with alternating distributions of martensite and austenite observed in the TZ. Conversely, when the laser beam was biased towards the nickel, the unmixed zone (UMZ) of 9Cr steel was observed within the macrosegregation. Nanoindentation tests revealed that the maximum nanohardness in macrosegregation reached 5.90 GPa in the PMZ due to the formation of lath martensite, while the minimum nanohardness was 1.30 GPa in the TZ due to reduced martensite formation. Additionally, the TZ exhibited a significant reduction in resistance to plastic deformation. The various microstructures of macrosegregation were attributed to the solidification process and the dilution rate of 9Cr steel. When the liquidus temperature of WM exceeded 1455℃, a wide TZ formed in the macrosegregation due to adequate mixing. In contrast, when the WM had a significantly lower liquidus temperature than the 9Cr steel, only UMZ and PMZ formed in the macrosegregation due to preferential solidification and insufficient mixing.
