Structure-Properties Relationships in Metal Additive Manufacturing
Available to PurchaseSeries: ASM Handbook
Volume: 24A
Publisher: ASM International
Published: 30 June 2023
DOI: 10.31399/asm.hb.v24A.a0006990
EISBN: 978-1-62708-439-0
Abstract
Structure-property relationships for metal additive manufacturing (AM) using solidification-based AM processes (e.g., powder-bed fusion and directed-energy deposition) are the focus of this article. Static strength and ductility properties in AM materials are impacted heavily by the microstructure but are also affected by porosity and surface roughness. Fatigue failure in AM materials is also influenced by porosity, surface roughness, microstructure, and residual stress due to applied manufacturing processing parameters. Post-processing treatments can further influence fatigue failure in AM materials.

Abstract
Fatigue failure is a critical performance metric for additively manufactured (AM) metal parts, especially those intended for safety-critical structural applications (i.e., applications where part failure causes system failure and injury to users). This article discusses some of the common defects that occur in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) components, mitigation strategies, and their impact on fatigue failure. It summarizes the fatigue properties of three commonly studied structural alloys, namely aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and nickel-base superalloy.

DOI: 10.31399/asm.hb.v23A.a0006904
EISBN: 978-1-62708-392-8
Abstract
The field of bioprinting is a subset of additive manufacturing (AM) that is rapidly expanding to meet the needs of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Bioprinting encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, from cell expansion and novel bioink development to cell/stem cell printing, from organoid-based tissue organization to bioprinting of human-scale tissue structures, and from building cell/tissue/organ-on-a-chip to biomanufacturing of multicellular engineered living systems. This article focuses on two challenges regarding bioprinting: bioinks and crosslinking. It describes the methods for characterizing the performance of bioink formulations and the effectiveness of crosslinking strategies. The topics covered include modalities of bioprinting, characteristics of bioink, rheological properties of bioink sols, rheological measurements, mathematical models of bioink rheology, postfabrication polymer network mechanics, mechanical properties of crosslinked bioinks, and printability of bioinks. Finally, specific strategies used for crosslinking bioinks, as well as some emerging strategies to further improve bioinks and their crosslinking, are summarized.

Abstract
This article addresses some established protocols for characterizing thermoplastics and whether they are homogeneous resins, alloyed, or blended compositions or highly modified thermoplastic composites. It begins with a discussion on characterizing mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties of polymer. This is followed by a section describing molecular weight determination using viscosity measurements. Next, the article discusses the use of cone and plate and parallel plate geometries in melt rheology. It then reviews the processes involved in the analysis of thermoplastic resins by chromatography. Finally, the article covers three operations of thermoanalysis, namely differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and thermomechanical testing.
