description | Magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloys have received extensive attention for their good mechanical properties and low saturation magnetization. However, the magnetostriction of bulk polycrystalline Fe-Ga alloys always suffers a major setback due to random grain orientation. In this study, selective laser melting (SLM) was used for the first time to manufacture bulk polycrystalline Fe81Ga19 alloys, and different scanning paths were determined for revealing the influences on grain orientation and magnetostrictive properties. The results showed that elongated columnar grains formed in the building direction due to the epitaxial growth during SLM. For zigzag scanning, grain orientation was parallel to the building direction while tilted by ∼17° for unidirectional scanning. And annular scanning resulted in mixed grain orientations in the alloys. Moreover, Fe81Ga19 alloy with zigzag scanning exhibited 〈100〉 preferred grain orientation. Consequently, the saturated magnetostriction of bulk Fe81Ga19 alloy with zigzag scanning reached ∼77.2 ppm, representing 23.9% and 25.1% increments compared with unidirectional and annular scanning, respectively. The Fe81Ga19 alloy with zigzag scanning also presented an ultimate compressive strength of 448.6 MPa and a degradation rate of 0.09 mm/y, as well as favorable biocompatibility. These results indicated that SLM might be a potential method for manufacturing magnetostrictive bulk Fe-Ga alloys for implant applications. |
