By changing the laser power (152–320 µW) and scanning speed (0.2-1 Å/ps), the effects of different parameters on the evolution of the forming process and the microstructure of crystallization were elucidated. The results indicate that increasing the laser power and decreasing the scanning speed both increase the temperature peak width and prolong the duration of the molten pool, which promotes the diffusion of powder particle atoms. However, both high power and low scanning speed increase the total energy input of the molten pool, promoting the accumulation of heat. Ultimately, this leads to a higher proportion of HCP structures in the powder bed. Furthermore, lower scanning speed and laser power both result in higher crystallinity, with scanning speed having a more remarkable regulatory influence on the crystallinity. Grain analysis indicates that with the increase of laser power and the decrease of scanning speed, the grain width of the formed alloy gradually increases, and the grains transform from fine equiaxed crystals or short columnar crystals to coarse long columnar crystals. Tensile testing reveals that both laser power and scanning speed present a nonlinear relationship on the tensile strength of TiAl alloy, which is the result of the combined action of factors such as grain size, dislocations and residual stress. During stretching, the FCC and HCP structures of the stretching block undergo mutual transformation, and the dislocation entanglement at the grain boundaries formed by laser forming could impede slip, thereby enhancing the tensile strength.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":703,"journal":{"name":"Metals and Materials International","volume":"32 1","pages":"271 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145915664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During Laser-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED-LB), an elaborated parametric analysis is required to control the materials’ behaviour precisely. This work deals with the effect of process parameters on process stability in terms of consistent melt pool geometrical features, such as aspect ratio of the bead and dilution, formation of pores, and ductility of super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) during pulsed laser and powder DED-LB. Independent variables including laser power, deposition speed, pulse frequency, and flow rate of the shielding gas were selected as controlling factors to deposit single tracks and plates of SDSS. Experiments have been designed and conducted according to L16 orthogonal array of Taguchi methodology. Relative density was estimated using Archimedes method. Ductility was estimated by tensile testing of the builds. For geometrical evaluation, phase characterization, and microstructural assessment, specimens were subjected to optical and Scanning Electron Microscopies, and Electron Backscattered Diffraction. Overall results were interpreted and explained using the Taguchi approach and analysis of signal-to-noise ratio. Single objective parameter-property relationships were achieved and discussed. Conclusive parametric remarks under the multi-attribute optimization were derived using weighted Grey Relational Analysis. A desirable parametric combination was extracted, and the associated quality responses were verified by the satisfying confirmatory deposition. The key role of parameters on the process stability, microstructure, and mechanical behaviour was further discussed.

The results show that the deformed sample exhibits a clear gradient microstructure, and the grain refinement mechanism gradually transitions from the RDRX mechanism in II Area to the high dislocation density dominated by the coordinated deformation of the second phase and high solute concentration. With increasing rotation cycles, the affected Area progressively expands, inducing significant variations in grain refinement degree, non-equilibrium solid solution behavior, and texture characteristics. The grain size evolution in different deformation Areas is primarily governed by sub-grain size and their area fractions, attributable to the high dislocation density characteristic of RBE processing. An inverse dynamic correlation persists between sub-grain size and dislocation density, with distinct dislocation multiplication behaviors observed across Areas as rotation cycles increase.

However, their composition and microstructure need to be optimized so as to obtain desirable performance. In this work, the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of five as-extruded Mg-4Zn-xCa (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 wt%) alloys were investigated systematically in order to find the optimal Ca content. The microstructure of Mg-4Zn binary alloy consisted of α–Mg matrix and MgZn secondary phase particles that was replaced by Ca<sub>2</sub>Mg<sub>6</sub>Zn<sub>3</sub> in the ternary alloys.

Alloying with different content of Ca refined the grains and improved the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) progressively. But the elongation showed a tendency of increase and then decrease with Ca content. Also, the corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid of Mg-4Zn-xCa alloys exhibited a non-monotonic variation with the increasing Ca content. The effect of Ca content on the mechanical and corrosion properties was discussed mainly based on the grain size and number of particles. Considering the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance comprehensively, as-extruded Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca is proposed to be the most promising candidate for biomedical application.</p>","PeriodicalId":703,"journal":{"name":"Metals and Materials International","volume":"32 3","pages":"1036 - 1048"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147342613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
