Abstract
Complex metallic structures additively manufactured via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an already established technique in this rapidly growing industry branch. However, the development of alloys for field-specific applications and the quality and functionality of the final parts strongly depends on the micro- and nanostructure morphology, crystallography and chemical composition.
Within this paper correlative microscopy studies performed on 3D-printed parts of Fe- and Ti- alloys are presented [1-4]. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and S/TEM) coupled with analytical characterization methods were used for advanced microstructural analysis of the as-built and heat-treated parts. Evolution of the microstructure during the ex-situ heat-treatment was first studied in detail in order to better comprehend the mechanical properties of the printed parts.
Furthermore, in-situ heating measurements at high spatial resolution provided information regarding the evolution of nanometric amorphous/crystalline phases and coarsening/shrinking of grains, diffusion of alloying elements and nucleation and evolution of secondary phases at different temperatures [5].
