Metal Fused Filament Fabrication offers a simple and cost-effective method to produce titanium components. However, multiple factors, including the binder system, contamination, and print parameters, have a significant impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the final parts. The present study investigates the utilization of the backbone polymers poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and po…

This study investigates creep damage in laser powder-bed-fusion (LPBF) 316H stainless steel in the as-built (AB), stress-relieved (SR), solution-annealed (SA), and hot-isostatic-pressed (HIP) conditions, using X-ray computed tomography (XCT) as the primary technique, complemented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Creep tests were conducted at 725 °C and 100 MPa with loading parallel to the L…
