Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Materials focuses mainly on the additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials. The AM process has strong advantages, such as “high freedom of design”, “complexity for free by topological optimization” and “potential elimination of tooling”, over classical manufacturing processes. However, AM is still facing hurdles to overcome in relation to widespread utilization, especially metallurgical conditions for tailoring AM components. Therefore, this Special Issue is a good opportunity for researchers around the world to disseminate different aspects of their work related to the additive manufacturing of metallic materials.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Alloy design for additive manufacturing;
  • Process design for additive manufacturing;
  • Post-process design, such as heat treatment and machining, for additive manufacturing;
  • Process–microstructure–properties relationship;
  • Modeling and simulation of additive manufacturing processes;
  • Materials characterization in AM components;
  • Component manufacturing: pre- and post-processing strategies.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full experimental or numerical papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Abstract
The efficacy of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) for enhancing fatigue performance is investigated for additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V. The limitations of HIP are probed by varying the initial material state via the selection of AM system, powder chemical composition, and process parameters. We [...] Read more.
The efficacy of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) for enhancing fatigue performance is investigated for additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V. The limitations of HIP are probed by varying the initial material state via the selection of AM system, powder chemical composition, and process parameters. We demonstrate that the fatigue performance of HIP’d AM Ti-6Al-4V depends on the as-built quality of the material. Differences in common material attributes, such as pre-HIP defect populations or post-HIP microstructure morphology, are shown to be insufficient to explain the observed discrepancies in performance. This implies that additional microstructure attributes or localized deviations from the expected structure control the failure of this material. Finally, HIP parameters outside ASTM recommendations were explored, where a reduced temperature and high-pressure treatment yielded significantly improved fatigue performance. Full article

This study aims to explore the wear performance of maraging 18Ni-300 steel, fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The building direction dependence of wear resistance was investigated with various wear loads and in terms of ball-on-disk wear tests. The effect of direct aging heat treatment, i.e., aging without solution heat treatment, on the wear performance was investigated by comparing the wear rates of directly aged samples, followed by solution heat treatment. The effect of counterpart material on the wear performance of the maraging steel was studied using two counterpart materials of bearing steel and ZrO2 balls. When the bearing steel ball was used as the counterpart material, both the as-built and heat-treated maraging steel produced by the LPBF showed pronounced building direction dependence on their wear performance when the applied wear load was sufficiently high. However, when the ZrO2 ball was used as the counterpart material, isotropic wear resistance was reported. The maraging steel produced by the LPBF demonstrated excellent wear resistance, particularly when it was aging heat-treated and the counterpart material was ZrO2. The directly aged sample showed wear performance almost the same as the sample solution heat-treated and then aged, indicating that direct aging can be used as an alternative post heat treatment for tribological applications of the maraging steels produced by LPBF.
