| Abstract Scope |
With advancements in novel alloy development via additive manufacturing (AM), specific heat treatments must be determined to tailor distinctive AM microstructures for the desired properties. Typical post processing development requires many samples, repeated tests, and extensive characterization. A high-throughput heat treatment method using a GleebleŽ thermomechanical simulator creates thermal gradients with controllable cooling rates, yielding a wide range of microstructures in a single sample for parallel analysis. Different sample grips and geometries are used to tune the thermal gradient to the temperature range of interest. Microstructural transformations including phase transitions are observed via SEM/EBSD across >500 °C temperature gradients in wrought 1018 steel samples, whereas kinetic microstructural evolution such as recrystallization and grain coarsening is observed in AM Ta-2.5W samples. The development of this tailored, material-agnostic, laboratory-scale technique offers a pathway to rapidly accelerate the optimization of heat treatments for novel alloys. |
