This paper validates three-dimensional (3D) simulation results of electron beam melting (EBM) processes by comparing experimental and numerical data. The physical setup is presented which is discretized by a 3D thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). An experimental process window is used for the validation depending on the line energy injected into the metal powder bed and the scan velocity of the electron beam. In the process window, the EBM products are classified into the categories, porous, good and swelling, depending on the quality of the surface. The same parameter sets are used to generate a numerical process window. A comparison of numerical and experimental process windows shows a good agreement. This validates the EBM model and justifies simulations for future improvements of the EBM processes. In particular, numerical simulations can be used to explain future process window scenarios and find the best parameter set for a good surface quality and dense products.

Electron beam melting (EBM) method is one of the free-form fabrication techniques that enable near-net-shape manufacturing of complex three-dimensional, porous, and graded products, and is expected to facilitate the development of new methods for manufacturing biomaterials that could be used for hard-tissue substitutes. Titanium and its alloys have been used widely as biomaterials for hard-tissue substitutes because of their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the osteointegration of these materials is less than that of bioactive ceramics. Therefore, various surface-modification techniques have been developed to improve the osteointegration. The simplest way is to synthesize bioactive ceramic films on the surface of titanium or its alloys. The purpose of the present work was to synthesize a bioactive TiO2 film on Ti-6Al-4V (hereafter, abbreviated as Ti-64) substrates fabricated from powders using the EBM method and treated by a combination of chemical and hydrothermal treatment. Ti-64 plates fabricated by the EBM method were chemically treated with a H2O2/HNO3 aqueous solution under appropriate conditions. The plates were then hydrothermally treated with a NH3 aqueous solution. TiO2-gel films were produced by chemical treatment with a H2O2/HNO3 aqueous solution on the surface of a Ti-64 substrate. Anatase-type TiO2 films with high crystallinity were synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment of the TiO2-gel films.

ABSTRACTVarious techniques of laser glazing are presented. Rules are given for the choise of systems which are suitable for producing amorphous surface layers. Methods of demonstrating the existence of a truly amorphous layer are discussed. Two examples are given: I) electron beam glazing of Ni-Nb coated single crystals 2) laser beam glazing of Fe-B coated Fe-Cr-C cold working steel.
