• Hot-cracking was affected by the volume fraction and size of the equiaxed grains. • The nucleation potency of L1 2 -Al 3 Zr phase was evaluated based on the E2EM model. • Both as-fabricated and T6-treated samples exhibited excellent YS from 150 °C to 350 °C. Zr modification is an effective method for improving hot-cracking resistance and elevated-temperature mechanical properties during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of traditional medium and high strength wrought aluminum alloys. This study investigated the l -PBF processability and elevated-temperature mechanical properties of a Zr-modified 2024Al alloy. It was found that the hot-cracking susceptibility increased with the increased scanning speed, which was in reasonable agreement with the modified Rappaz–Drezet–Gremaud criterion. Furthermore, the primary L1 2 -Al 3 Zr precipitates, which acted as efficient nucleation sites, precipitated at the fusion boundary of the melt pool, leading to the formation of a heterogeneous grain structure. The yield strength (YS) of the as-fabricated samples at 150, 250, and 350 °C was 363, 210, and 48 MPa, respectively. Despite the slight decrease to 360 MPa of the YS when tested at 150 °C, owing to the additional precipitate strengthening from the L1 2 -Al 3 Zr precipitates, the YS achieved yield strengths of 253 and 69 MPa, an increase of 20.5% and 30.4%, when tested at 250 and 350 °C, respectively. The yield strengths in both the as-fabricated and T6-treated conditions tested at 150 and 250 °C were comparable to those of casting Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys and superior to those of traditionally heat-resistant 2219-T6 and 2618-T6 of Al-Cu alloys.

• The microstructural heterogeneity of PBF-EB-built CoCrMo alloy was analyzed. • The isothermal γ→ε transformation occurred during the PBF-EB fabrication. • The difference in γ/ε phase distribution was a result of the thermal history. • Manipulating energy input can control isothermal γ→ε transformation behaviors. Powder bed fusion with electron beam (PBF-EB), allows Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) implants with patient-customization to be fabricated with high quality and complex geometry. However, the variability in the properties of PBF-EB-built CCM alloy, mainly due to the lack of understanding of the mechanisms that govern microstructural heterogeneity, brings limitations in extensive application. In this study, the microstructural heterogeneity regarding the γ-fcc → ε-hcp phase transformation was characterized. The phase transformation during PBF-EB was analyzed depending on the thermal history that was elucidated by the numerical simulation. It revealed that isothermal γ → ε transformation occurred during the fabrication. Importantly, the difference in γ/ε phase distribution was a result of the thermal history determining which method phase transformation was taking place, which can be influenced by the PBF-EB process parameters. In the sample with a low energy input (E a r e a = 2.6 J/mm
2 ), the martensitic transformation was dominant. As the building height increased from the bottom, the ε phase fraction decreased. On the other hand, in the sample with a higher energy input (E a r e a = 4.4 J/mm2 ), the ε phase formed via diffusional-massive transformation and only appeared in a short range of the lower part away from the bottom.

The microstructure and properties of nickel-based superalloys under thermal exposure are the key basis for evaluating the high-temperature stability and proposing process optimization strategies. This study investigated the microstructural evolution and the corresponding tensile properties of IN738 alloy with different post-processing states under thermal exposure at 700 °C. The results show that the microstructures of IN738 alloys with different post-processing states (i.e., hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and standard heat treatment (SHT)) are significantly different. For the HIPed sample, large cuboidal γ′ and a small number of ultra-fine spheroidal γ′ precipitates are present in the γ matrix. Under thermal exposure, the size and volume fraction of ultra-fine spheroidal γ′ increase with prolonged thermal exposure time. In comparison, the SHTed sample is characterized as a bimodal distribution of γ′, with large primary cuboidal γ′ and small secondary spherical γ′. The size and volume fraction of primary γ′ increase first and then remain steady under thermal exposure. In particular, the tensile properties under exposure depend highly on the post-processing states. The increase of tensile strength after the thermal exposure in the HIPed sample is attributed to the rising fine spherical γ′ volume fraction. The rising size and volume fraction of primary γ′ in the SHTed sample improve the tensile strength during thermal exposure. • Microstructure and mechanical properties of IN738 highly depend on post-processing states. • Increase of strength in HIPed sample is attributed to rising fine spherical γ′ fraction after thermal exposure. • Rising size and fraction of primary γ′ in SHTed sample improve strength during thermal exposure.

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is a promising technique for fabricating high-performance complex aluminum (Al) alloy components. However, conventional high-strength wrought Al alloys that are processed using L-PBF have limited application owing to their poor cracking resistance. To investigate the cracking mechanism, L-PBF was used to fabricate a 2024Al alloy. The resultant microstructure exhibited severe hot cracking, which occurred at grain boundaries with a high angle in both solidification and liquation cracks. Increasing the scanning speed increased the susceptibility to cracking. The effect of scanning speed on the eutectics content of Al 2 Cu and Al 2 CuMg and the residual stress in as-fabricated samples are discussed. Crack elimination at a low scanning speed could be ascribed to the lower thermal stresses and adequate liquid feeding during the late stage of solidification. In addition, based on the RDG (Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud) model, a cracking susceptibility map was produced, in which the cracking susceptibility was determined to increase with an increase in the solidification rate, in agreement with experimental observation. • Cracking mechanism in L-PBFed high-strength 2024Al alloy is determined. • Crack elimination at low scan speed is attributed to the low thermal stress and sufficient liquid feeding. • The cracking susceptibility map is established based on RDG model.
