Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained significant importance in the past years and is regarded to have the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing processes of materials, enabling complex geometries that are not feasible to be built using conventional manufacturing processes. The increasing complexity of AM-built components demands advanced spatially-resolved characterization techniques...
The hardening phase precipitation process plays an important role in the development of new Ni-base superalloys. In the present work, we apply a powerful combination of advanced characterization techniques to characterize in-situ the $\gamma$’ precipitation in the new VDM® Alloy 780. During the whole heat treatment process, in-situ time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction (ND) unambiguously...
The treatment of water for potable use is one of the great challenges of our time. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination is a widely used technology for the treatment of sea and wastewater. A main problem is scaling and fouling of the membrane surface, which prevents the optimal use of this technology [1]. Our goal is to investigate these phenomena at the microscopic level using operando SANS...
From all possible Additive Manufacture methods, the electron beam melting (EBM) of Ti-6Al-4V has the closest properties to the traditionally produced Ti-6Al-4V. Therefore, EBM Ti-6Al-4V can be used in many engineering parts, yet its material properties must be understood completely. In particular, the differences among properties of objects oriented vertically or horizontally with respect to...
