Nitinol is used in dental tools for its superelasticity, shape memory and biocompatibility. Selective laser melting (SLM) on a powder bed potential process manufacturing such as tools. Microstructural studies are conducted NiTi-SLM using parallel strip strategy 90° beam rotation. The multi-scale (nano-, micro- mesoscopic) microstructure revealed. Similar “cast” type features found. SLM melt cas...

The two-step ageing of Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Nb (at.%) single crystals under and without stress, leads to the precipitation γ′- β-phase particles. Research has shown that γ–α′ thermoelastic martensitic transformation (MT), with shape memory effect (SME) superelasticity (SE), develops in [001]-oriented tension. SE was observed within range from temperature start MT upon cooling Ms, end reverse ...

NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) are used in a broad range of biomedical applications because their unique properties including biocompatibility and high corrosion wear resistance as well functional such superelasticity the effect. The combination SMAs additive manufacturing can lead to revolutionary changes uses industry. This article discusses potential that benefit from AM process. We share l...
