A degree of uncertainty remains around these technologies largely due to process and material repeatability, production controls, and a lack of application-specific material data. This research aimed to investigate the effects of extensively reused (175 reuse cycles) Ti-6Al-4V ELI powder feedstock and build orientation on the produced material. Material chemistry, metallography, pin-type bearing strength, and tensile properties were characterized at different build locations and principal orientations. The literature on pin-type bearing strength for both traditionally and additively manufactured material is lacking. Such information is of value for the design of bolted structural joints and fixtures. The results suggest that although extensively reused powder feedstock does experience drift in material properties due to the reuse process, it can still fulfil feedstock material specification requirements. Furthermore, this powder is capable of producing material that meets produced material specification requirements, exhibits minimal orthotropy in mechanical properties, and has ultimate bearing strength that exceeds Ti-6Al-4V grade 5 wrought material allowables. This research provides valuable information for designing structural joints and contributes to the further industrialization of laser powder bed fusion for critical applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 4","pages":"1885 - 1897"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11837-025-07162-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when the size of a SMA is reduced to the scale of a few hundred nanometers, its shape memory effect becomes diminished and can eventually be suppressed. To investigate the microscopic origin of this behavior, we have characterized the thermally-induced martensitic transformation in precipitation-hardened NiTiHf high-temperature SMAs, using four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy and in situ heating experiments. We show a distinct anisotropic suppression of the martensitic phase transformation, where B19′ martensite is successfully transformed into B2 austenite, while the reverse transformation is completely suppressed. Quantitative phase and strain analysis reveal strain accumulation in the austenite matrix, specifically a unique buildup of shear strain surrounding precipitates embedded in the matrix phase. This result indicates that the suppression of the martensitic transformation in precipitation-hardened SMAs is not solely due to extrinsic effects like the buildup of non-transforming oxides on the alloy surface, and that there is an additional intrinsic mechanism inhibiting the full shape memory transformation. Our findings encourage future research on the feasibility of scalable shape memory devices in the sub-hundred nanometer regime.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 5","pages":"2852 - 2861"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835625","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}

After extrusion deformation, the equiaxed prior particles were elongated along the extrusion direction, showing a long strip shape, and the compactness of the microstructure was significantly improved. The precipitated phase and oxide layer continuously distributed at the sintering neck were broken and refined into fine particles, which were dispersed along the prior particle boundaries. The average grain size was 2.16 μm, and its UTS and El were 321.4 ± 2.4 MPa and 5.0 ± 0.3%, respectively. The improvement of the mechanical properties was mainly attributed to the combined effect of increased microstructure compactness, improved bonding strength between prior particles, grain refinement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 5","pages":"2797 - 2810"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835518","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}
