Review On Machining Of Additively Manufactured Nickel And Titanium Alloys, Navneet Khanna, Kishan Zadafiya, Tej Patel, Yusuf Kaynak, Rizwan Abdul, Rahman Rashid, Ana Vafadar

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

The machining of nickel and titanium-based superalloy components is very expensive and involves unusually high lead times compared with other engineering metals such as steels and aluminum. This has led to the development of most suitable additive manufacturing (AM) processes to fabricate these difficult-to-machine metals into near-net shape parts, thereby reducing the lead time and material waste, and significantly increasing productivity. Nonetheless, finish machining is still required on the AMed metal components to meet the dimensional and surface requirements of the application. Several research studies have investigated the machinability of AMed nickel and titanium alloy workpieces and have compared the …

Corrosion Behavior And Characteristics Of Passive Films Of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Produced Ti-6al-4v In Dynamic Hank’S Solution, Liang-Yu Chen, Hong-Yue Zhang, Chuanbo Zheng, Hong-Yu Yang, Peng Qin, Cuihua Zhao, Sheng Lu, Shun-Xing Liang, Linjiang Chai, Lai-Chang Zhang

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

The corrosion behavior of laser powder bed fusion produced (L-PBF-produced) titanium alloys involving flowing body fluid is still unclear. Therefore, this work investigates in vitro corrosion behavior and the characteristics of passive films formed on L-PBF-produced Ti–6Al–4V in both static and dynamic Hank’s solutions. Electrochemical measurements, immersion tests, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were conducted. In comparison to the L-PBF-produced Ti–6Al–4V in static Hank’s solution, the samples showed lower charge transfer resistance and higher passivation current density (anodic current density as well) in dynamic Hank’s solution. Meanwhile, a more apparent deposition of apatite and hydroxyapatite is found on …
