Intermetallic Fe–Ti alloy obtained by dual-wire electron-beam additive manufacturing by Elena G. Astafurova, Lidiya V. Danilova, Aleksey S. Nifontov, Andrey V. Luchin, Sergey V. Astafurov, Evgeniy A. Kolubaev

“…In this study, we successfully used a novel strategy for obtaining bulk poreless and crack-free billet of the Fe–Ti intermetallic alloy by a dual-wire electron-beam additive manufacturing using commercial wires of a Grade-2 titanium and low-carbon steel. Using X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, we have found that as-built material possesses dendritic microstructure: FeTi phase prevails in interdendrites and Fe2Ti intermetallic dominates in dendrites. …”

Enhancing strength and toughness of 2-GPa-grade press-hardened steel by novel electroshock treatment by Ye Li, Yanli Song, Jue Lu, Junhao Hu, Yanfeng Gu, Yikuan Yang, Lin Hua

“…Compared to conventional hot stamping, EST enhanced tensile strength to 2023 MPa (an increase of 5.31 %) and impact energy to 21.5 J (an increase of 22.99 %), achieving a strength–toughness synergy. Microstructural mechanism analysis indicated that the strength enhancement was primarily attributable to the nanoscale ε-carbide precipitation (diameter < 3.6 nm), contributing 327 MPa to yield strength via shear strengthening. …”
