Laser pre-sintering for denudation reduction in the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy
As a fundamentally different process for creation of complex parts, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing exhibits complex behavior at the melt pool that has a direct influence on the macroscopic properties of the final material. Powder denudation, a previously studied deleterious phenomenon, is the displacement of powder due to entrainment in a jet of rapidly vaporized metal created by the process laser. To minimize the effect of denudation and inspired by methods in adjacent fields, a laser pre-sintering (LPS) method was studied in an effort to reduce denudation. LPS was found to be most effective in the 1–4 J/mm3 volumetric energy density processing regimes, minimizing the common experimentally observed problems with the LPBF process. Scanning electron microscopy of the LPS-treated powder bed revealed insight into the accelerating effect morphological irregularities along the powder particle surface have in the pre-sintering process. To further understand the process, an estimation of the sintered neck sizes necessary to eliminate denudation in LPS is made, qualitatively affirming the low energy densities needed to prevent denudation. Here, the results presented in this work represent an initial step towards understanding and implementing LPS as a quality-enhancing step in LPBF.

Evaluation of IrO 2 catalysts doped with Ti and Nb at industrially relevant electrolyzer conditions: A comprehensive study
A series of commercial Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) IrO 2 -based materials doped with acid-stable titanium and niobium species were comprehensively characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray Scattering. Electrocatalysts were integrated into Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) using a fabrication method developed under the US DOE H2NEW consortium. An electrolysis performance in a commercial setup as well as a laboratory screening system was performed at conditions relevant to industrial application. According to the comprehensive characterizations, the studied materials are closer to doped iridium oxides rather than core–shell structures. In an electrolysis cell, the IrO 2 /TiO x catalyst slightly outperforms the IrO 2 /NbO x based on the activity. It was demonstrated that the operation of electrolysis cells at elevated temperatures and the implementation of thinner Nafion-type membranes allows for substantially increased performance, which is consistent with the literature report. Finally, this work provides valuable baselines including characterization and performance for guiding future research in this direction.
Microstructural characterization and equibiaxial flexural strength of CeO 2 and Ti-doped CeO 2
In this study, the synthesis of CeO 2 and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) doped CeO 2 (TDC) monoliths are investigated, and their fracture strength is assessed using an equibiaxial flexure testing technique at room temperature. Pellets were synthesized using conventional powder processing and sintering methods to produce the desired characteristics. The TiO 2 dopant concentration was optimized at 0.1 wt % TiO 2 to obtain dense, solid-solution pellets with an enhanced grain microstructure. A ball-on-ring fixture was used to obtain the TRS and Weibull parameters of over 30 pellets for CeO 2 and 0.1 wt % TDC to compare fracture behavior. The TRS of CeO 2 pellets ranged from 88 to 160 MPa and the TRS of 0.1 wt % TDC pellets ranged from 102 to 171 MPa, both being consistent with published values. Weibull parameters, such as characteristic strength and Weibull modulus, were extracted as 129 MPa and 8.5 for CeO 2 and 150 MPa and 9.3 for 0.1 wt % TDC, respectively. Although Hertzian contact damage was observed on compressive surfaces, failure initiation occurred on the tensile surfaces of both types of samples. Fracture surface analysis for CeO 2 indicated a predominantly intergranular fracture while 0.1 wt % TDC had a predominantly transgranular fracture mode. Finally, the TRS of 0.1 wt % TDC resulted in increased Weibull parameters when compared to CeO 2 , indicating sample chemistry and microstructure impact mechanical behavior for these samples.
