The formation of defects within additive-manufactured (AM) components is a major concern
for critical structural and cyclic load applications. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of …

The present study investigated the microstructural evolution of AA6082 aluminum alloy
using ex-situ and in-situ methods. Microstructural characterization was performed for the …

Non-destructive testing (NDT) can evaluate the characteristics and conditions of materials
without damaging them. In existing NDT techniques, laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) uses the …

The advancement of laser ultrasonics has increased rapidly in recent years, providing
applications for materials characterization as well as for industrial utilization, as a quality …

In this study, we explored the potential of laser ultrasonics for metallurgy (LUMet) as an
advanced in-situ technique to measure the α formation kinetics during high temperature …

Oxygen solid solutions are well known to impose a strong hardening effect on Ti and its
alloys, but induce the undesirable embrittlement behavior. In order to improve the ductility of …

Intra-and inter-layer integrity of components fabricated with advanced manufacturing
techniques, such as laser powder bed fusion, is dependent upon rapid heating, melting, and …

The traditional microstructure detecting methods such as metallography and electron
backscatter diffraction are destructive to the sample and time-consuming and they cannot …

In this study, TA1 was selected as the research object, and EBSD was used to determine the
microstructure information of the samples, then grain size considering the distribution was …

Hot compression tests were carried out on commercially pure titanium grade 2 at
temperatures below the β-transus (915° C). At temperatures of 840, 860, 880, and 900° C …
