Effect of Printing Orientation Angle and Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Binder-Jetting-Printed Parts in 17-4 PH Stainless Steel by Iacopo Bianchi, Archimede Forcellese, Pietro Forcellese, Tommaso Mancia, Chiara Mignanelli, Michela Simoncini, Tommaso Verdini

“…Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used to observe the fracture surfaces and microscopical defects on the binder jetting printed parts to evaluate the fracture mechanisms. It was demonstrated that printing orientation angles do not affect the mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts, while a significant improvement in the microstructure and mechanical properties is observed after the H900 heat treatment.…”

Correlation between solution relative viscosity and the microstructural properties of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) – PHBV solution blow spun mats by Lucas Gomes Rabello, Maira Rievrs Nogueira Alvares, Roberto Carlos da Conceição Ribeiro, Paula Mendes Jardim, Rossana Mara da Silva Moreira Thiré

“…In this study, we produced poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) fibrous mats via solution blow spinning (SBS) and evaluated their microstructural properties. We propose here the utilization of the theoretical estimative of relative viscosity (RV) as an independent variable in a statistical design of experiments (DoE) to account for the polymer’s molecular weight (Mw) effect on the determination of the diameter and morphology of the fibers. …”
