Development of Tailored Porous Ti6Al4V Materials by Extrusion 3D Printing.

Nowadays, metallic bone replacement is in high demand due to different issues, like sicknesses and accidents. Thus, bone implants are fabricated with tailored properties and microstructure for long-term use in the human body. To improve such implants, 3D printing is the most promising technique.

Application of a Non-Isothermal Numerical-Analytical Model to Determine the Kinetics of Austenite Formation in a Silicon Alloyed Steel.

A non-isothermal transformation model was proposed to determine the austenite formation kinetics in a steel alloyed with 2.6% wt. Si by dilatometric analysis, considering that the nucleation mechanism does not change with the heating rate.
