Effect of Fe addition on the microstructure, transformation behaviour and superelasticity of NiTi alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

NiTi-Fe ternary shape memory alloys were produced by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) using the pre-alloyed NiTi and elemental Fe powders. A large process window exists to fabricate dense NiTiFe0.3 and NiTiFe0.5 alloys, while severe cracks occur in the NiTiFe2 alloy. The cracking susceptibility is st...
