"Effect of the post-production heat treatment on phase evolution in the" by Chen Shen, Klaus Dieter Liss et al.
Abstract Functionally graded material has been increasingly attractive due to the locally designed and optimized material properties. In the present paper, to achieve high thermal lattice structural stability and high corrosion resistance in each side of one bulk material, an Fe Ni–FeNi compositionally graded material (FGM) bulk sample has been fabricated using an innovative wire-arc additive manufacturing process. A subsequent homogenization post-production heat treatment is applied to stabilize the phase composition and eliminate the possible segregation in the as-fabricated sample. Meanw...
