This alloy has a mass density of only 4.36 grams per cubic centimetre, which is more than 30% lighter than nitinol alloys 4 (Fig. 1). Impressively, the innovative alloy can also withstand a stress ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol).

Adjusting volume energy density in L-PBF optimizes NiTi alloys' microstructure and corrosion resistance, enhancing their potential in critical applications. Attractive metal-metal bonding occurs in a ...
