A bidirectional powder deposition strategy was employed to additively manufacture Ti–15Mo wt% using laser metal deposition. The as-built alloy was subsequently subject to post-fabrication heat treatment. Microstructural characterisation was conducted in the heat-treated state and also after uniaxial tensile deformation. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were employed in the heat-treated state. Electron backscatter diffraction was used in investigating the deformed microstructure. Columnar β grain refinement was achieved by fragmentation from ...

Microstructure evolution via deformation-induced martensitic transformation, void formation, and crack propagation is investigated in a metastable austenitic Cr–Mn–N stainless steel for up to 90° bending using a combination of electron backscattering diffraction and parent grain reconstruction. Stress–strain heterogeneity and stress triaxiality studied using finite-element analysis reveal that the inner and outer radii are in approximately uniaxial compressive and tensile stress states, respectively, with the outer radius showing higher values for von Mises and principal stresses and eq...

A versatile generic framework for parent grain reconstruction from fully or partially transformed child microstructures has been integrated into the open-source crystallographic toolbox MTEX. The framework extends traditional parent grain reconstruction, phase transformation and variant analysis to all parent-child crystal symmetry combinations. The inherent versatility of the universally applicable parent grain reconstruction methods and the ability to conduct in-depth variant analysis are showcased via example workflows that can be programmatically modified by users to suit their specific ap...
