Texture-based residual stress analysis of laser powder bed fused Inconel 718 parts.

Although layer-based additive manufacturing methods such as laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) offer an immense geometrical freedom in design, they are typically subject to a build-up of internal stress ( thermal stress) during manufacturing. As a consequence, significant residual stress (RS) is retained in the final part as a footprint of these internal stresses. Furthermore, localized melting and solidification inherently induce columnar-type grain growth accompanied by crystallographic texture.

In situ kinetics studies of Zn-Al LDH intercalation with corrosion related species.

Kinetic parameters for three anion exchange reactions - Zn-LDH-NO→ Zn-LDH-Cl, Zn-LDH-NO→ Zn-LDH-SO and Zn-LDH-NO→ Zn-LDH-VO- were obtained by in situ synchrotron study. The first and the second ones are two-stage reactions; the first stage is characterized by the two-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction following deceleratory nucleation and the second stage is a one-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction also with a decelerator nucleation effect. In the case of exchange NO→ Cl host anions are completely released, while in the case of NO→ SO the reaction ends without complete release of nitrate anions.
