Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The demand for new materials or materials with superior properties for high-performance applications, such as in automotive, petrochemical, nuclear, defense, and aerospace sectors, increases day-by-day. Such alloys do always have a high emphasis on their structural properties and process correlations. Some special sectors do have specific requirements such as abnormal performance for structural applications such as in superalloys. Few other sectors demand a superior performance for their functional applications. Additionally, not only does designing or selecting such materials play a key role, but also their manufacturing processes and parameters are going to be the key aspects.

Scientific contributions are invited from scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry to disseminate recent inventions and developments in the areas of high-performance alloy systems and their synthesis, characterization, properties, processing, and/or manufacturing. Manuscripts on computational aspects including simulations/modeling are also welcome.

While Ti6Al4V is one of the most used titanium alloys in the biomaterials field, it is not without its challenges and limitations, among which very important is the modulus mismatch with the bone. This modulus mismatch can lead to stress shielding potentially leading to bone resorption and implant loosening. Researchers continue to explore alternative materials and modifications to address this challenge and improve the performance of biomaterials. Two new fabricated titanium alloys Ti-10Al and Ti-4Fe are analyzed in this paper from corrosion and elastic modulus points of view. Metallography, microhardness, open circuit potential, DC electrochemical linear polarization, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy were performed. It was found that the corrosion resistance measurement for the Ti4Fe alloy is two orders of magnitude lower than for the Ti10Al alloy as determined by the equivalent circuit simulation, which is also supported by the similar disparity in the corrosion rate values for the two alloys which was determined using the DC method. The modulus of elasticity values were fairly close, hovering about 35GPa, and were lower than those of many commercial alloys. Full article

The need for additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create near net shape components from a wide variety of materials has grown in recent years. There are several additive manufacturing methods to build various parts by different materials. However, it is challenging to construct, the components with incompatible materials combination for high temperature and creep resistance using conventional methods. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to investigate the use of solid state welding (friction welding) in additive manufacturing (SSAM) of incompatible materials, namely alloy Cr18-Ni8 and 42CrMo4 low alloy alternative layers. The interface bonding strength must be strengthened to achieve the desired isotropic characteristics and high strength for the components. Due to the low temperature at the bonding interface, secondary phases cannot develop when solid state welding is used. In order to obtain the highest bonding strength, optimal process parameters were examined using design of experiments (DOE) with Box–Behnken design model and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The major process parameters of upset pressure, friction pressure and burn-off length were varied to obtain the optimal conditions. In addition, the bonded interfaces were examined by the microstructural characteristics as well as mechanical properties such as micro-hardness and bonding strength. The interface is made up of alloys intermixed with different zones such as a dynamically recrystallized zone and a thermomechanical affected zone. The intermixed layers revealed the migration of C and Mo to Cr18-Ni8 alloy and separated the Fe and Ni bands. The fractography analysis revealed ductile and slightly brittle fracture surfaces with a mixed mode. The relationship between bond strength and interface thickness was determined by studying the impact of interface thickness on bond strength. Full article
