Influence of interlayer dwell time on microstructure and mechanical properties additively manufactured 316L stainless steel by laser directed energy deposition by Zhaoqiang Chen, Ziyu Zhang, Yuying Yang, Guangchun Xiao, Mingdong Yi, Tingting Zhou, Chonghai Xu

“…The experimental results indicate that with the extension of the interlayer residence time (IDT), the morphology of the molten pool becomes increasingly stable, the surface quality of the component improves, and the grains are refined. When the IDT is set to 360 s, it is observed that the ultimate tensile strength of the sample is 34% higher compared to when the IDT is 0 s, the elongation is increased by 47%, and the hardness is enhanced by 13%. …”

Hot deformation behavior and dynamic recrystallization kinetic modeling of the Mg–7Gd–3Y–1Zn–0.5Zr alloy by Chen Zhong, Yongjun Li, Qichi Le, Minglong Ma, Xinggang Li, Guoliang Shi, Jiawei Yuan, Zhaoqian Sun, Kui Zhang

“…Combined with the microstructure analysis, it can be found that the Long Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phase is able to promote DRX during the hot deformation, but its ability to promote DRX is less pronounced than that of grain boundaries. At the block-shaped LPSO phase interface, the grain boundary arched by strain induction provided a nucleation site for DRX, enabling discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX). …”
