Operando X-ray diffraction study of thermal and phase evolution during laser powder bed fusion of Al-Sc-Zr elemental powder blends

Elemental powder blends are an emerging alternative to prealloyed powders for high-throughput alloy design via additive manufacturing techniques. Elemental Al+Sc(+Zr) powder blends were processed by laser powder bed fusion into Al-Sc and Al-Sc-Zr alloys, w ...

Verification of selective laser melting heat source models with operando X-ray diffraction data

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Samy Hocine

The output obtained from operando X-ray diffraction experiments on Ti-6Al-4V is used to verify the accuracy of four FEM models in predicting the temperature evolution of the solidified domain, the cooling rates of the alpha and beta phases, and the influen ...

A miniaturized selective laser melting device for operando X-ray diffraction studies

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Samy Hocine, Nicola Casati

We report on the development of a miniaturized device for operando X-ray diffraction during laser 3D printing. The printing chamber has a size of only 130 x 135 x 34 mm(3) and is optimized to be installed at synchrotron beamlines. We describe the design co ...

Enhanced precipitate growth at reduced temperatures during chemical ordering in deformed red gold alloys

Nadine Baluc, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Marina Garcia Gonzalez, Samy Hocine

Manufacturing of red gold components relies widely on controlling the formation of ordered precipitates during thermo-mechanical processing. The ordered phase hardens the material, makes it less workable and introduces residual stresses. We show that an in ...
