Austenitic Stainless Steel Powders with Increased Nitrogen Content for Laser Additive Manufacturing
摘要： Nitrogen is used as an alloying element, substituting the expensive and allergenic element nickel, in austenitic stainless steels to improve their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The development of austenitic stainless steel powders with increased nitrogen content for laser additive manufacturing has recently received great interest. To increase nitrogen content in the austenitic steel powders (for example AISI 316L), two measures are taken in this study: (1) melting the steel under a nitrogen atmosphere, and (2) adding manganese to increase the solubility of nitrogen in the steel. The steel melt is then atomized by means of gas atomization (with either nitrogen or argon). The resulting powders are examined and characterized with regard to nitrogen content, particle size distribution, particle shape, microstructure, and ?owability. It shows that about 0.2–0.3 mass % nitrogen can be added to the austenitic stainless steel 316L by adding manganese and melting the steel under nitrogen atmosphere. The particles are spherical in shape and very few satellite particles are observed. The steel powders show good ?owability and packing density, therefore they can be successfully processed by means of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF).

A brief introduction to the selective laser melting of Ti6Al4V powders by supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode process
摘要： In the present study, Ti6Al4V spherical powders were prepared by supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode process and the particle size fit log-normal distribution. The average diameter of the powders was successfully determined by a model developed in this work, suggesting that the particle size distribution is mainly affected by the rotating speed. The log-normal distribution factor of the particle size distribution maintains stable as the rotating speed ω varies. The particle size distribution indicates that the main atomization mode of Ti6Al4V under supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode process is of the characteristics of direct drop formation. The mechanical properties of the samples prepared by selective laser melting of Ti6Al4V powders were characterized, indicating that such Ti6Al4V samples with isotropy structure exhibit high yield strength and good ductility.

Rapid crystallization of electrohydrodynamically atomized ZrO2 thin films by laser annealing
摘要： This paper aims to provide a simple and rapid fabricating method for solution-based ZrO2 thin films. The ZrO2 thin film was firstly deposited on a 316L stainless steel substrate by electrohydrodynamic atomization. Then the crystallization process was carried out by a 4W Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm. The morphology, structure and evolution of chemical bonds (Zr and O) were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After laser annealing, the O 1s (O-containing ions in ZrO2) fraction rose from 22.6 % to 51.1 %, and the principal tetragonal phase composition was obtained. The large temperature gradients that derived from the photothermal effect contribute to the fast crystallization during the laser treatments. The tribological and electrochemical corrosion experiments reveal that the laser crystallized films have significantly well wear and corrosion resistance, close to those of conventionally crystallized films. This fabricating method is simple, energy-saving and could achieve the spatially-resolved crystallization of films with a minimal temperature increase on the underlying substrates.

摘要： Ultrasonic atomization of bulk liquids has received extensive attention in the past few decades due to the ability to produce controlled droplet sizes, a necessity for many industries such as spray coating and aerosol drug delivery. Despite the increase in attention, one novel application of this technology has been overlooked until recently, and that is the moisture removal capabilities of atomization. The first ever ultrasonic dryer, created by researchers at Oak Ridge National Lab in 2016, applies the mechanisms of atomization to mechanically remove moisture from clothing. The process utilizes the ultrasonic vibrations created by a piezoelectric transducer in direct contact with a wet fabric to rupture the liquid-vapor boundary of the retained water. Once ruptured, smaller droplets are ejected from the bulk liquid and are actively removed from the fabric pores. The mechanisms of droplet ejection from this event are related to both capillary waves forming on the liquid surface (Capillary Wave Theory), as well as the implosion of cavitation bubbles formed from the hydraulic shocks propagating from the transducer (Cavitation Theory). In this work, we present an analytical model for predicting the moisture removal rate of a wet fabric exposed to ultrasonic vibrations, and connect the atomization events to a global variable, acceleration, in order to decouple the relationship between the transducer and applied voltage. The acceleration governing atomization is predicted using a verified numerical model. The numerical model is shown to assist in developing ultrasonic drying by means of efficiently evaluating transducer design changes.
