Synthesis of TiFe Hydrogen Absorbing Alloys Prepared by Mechanical Alloying and SPS Treatment

This study aims to clarify the influence of the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method on structural morphology, mechanical properties and also functional characteristics, such as hydrogen absorbing properties, for titanium-iron intermetallic compounds. We could synthesize B2-TiFe phase using mechanical alloying (MA) during 3 h and SPS treatment of 5 min at 500–1000 °C, which was confirmed by XRD and Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA) measurements. In addition, the synthesized TiFe intermetallic compound has been found to absorb hydrogen with high kinetics in both high pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Pressure-Composition-Temperature (PCT) measurements. Therefore, we have successfully developed TiFe alloy in bulk form from initial raw powders by using a combination of short period mechanical alloying and SPS heat treatment. This combined route enhances the potential of the SPS method to synthesize new materials

Influences of Process Parameters on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of CoCrFeNiTi Based High-Entropy Alloy in a Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process

Recently, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted much attention because of their superior properties, such as high strength and corrosion resistance. This study aimed to investigate the influences of process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CoCrFe NiTiMo HEAs using a laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. In terms of laser power and scan speed, a process map was constructed by evaluating the density and surface roughness of the as-built specimen to optimize the process parameters of the products. The mechanical properties of the as-built specimens fabricated at the optimum fabrication condition derived from the process map were evaluated. Consequently, the optimum laser power and scan speed could be obtained using the process map evaluated by density and surface roughness. The as-built specimen fabricated at the optimum fabrication condition presented a relative density of more than 99.8%. The microstructure of the as-built specimen exhibited anisotropy along the build direction. The tensile strength and elongation of the as-built specimen were around 1150 MPa and more than 20%, respectively
