| Popis: | Additively manufactured Nitinol (NiTi) architectured materials, designed with unit cell architectures, hold promise for customisable applications. However, the common assumption of homogeneity in modeling and additive manufacturing of these architectured materials needs further investigation because geometric-dependent melt pool behaviour results in inhomogeneous microstructure and thermomechanical properties. This study shows that property inhomogeneity at the mesoscale is one reason for pseudo-linear response and partial superelasticity of the fabricated NiTi body-centered cubic (BCC) architectured materials. We modeled using a phenomenological constitutive relation and additively manufactured NiTi architectured materials with varying relative densities. These fabricated samples showed distinct microstructural textures and compositions that affected their local recoverability. The edge effects and laser turn regions were identified as the causes underlying the observed microstructural inhomogeneity. The dimensionless Fourier number is used to describe the transition of printing modes. This study provides valuable information on rigorous experimental/computational consistency in future work. |
