Nanotwins-containing microstructure and superior mechanical strength of a Cu‒9Al‒5Fe‒5Ni alloy additively manufactured by laser metal deposition by Li, Boyuan, Zheng, Han, Han, Changjun, Zhou, Kun

“…An optimized processing window of LMD was established for printing the alloy with a relative density greater than 99% using laser power of 1000–1500 W, scanning speed of 0.5–1.5 m/min and hatch space of 1.5–2 mm. The LMD-printed alloy exhibited a microstructure consisting of a martensite β* phase, a Widmanstätten α phase, Fe Al and NiAl nanoprecipitates, and nanotwins. …”
