Systems and methods for developing tough hypoeutectic amorphous metal-based materials for additive manufacturing, and methods of additive manufacturing using such materials are provided. The methods use 3D printing of discrete thin layers during the assembly of bulk parts from metallic glass alloys with compositions selected to improve toughness at the expense of glass forming ability. The metallic glass alloy used in manufacturing of a bulk part is selected to have minimal glass forming ability for the per layer cooling rate afforded by the manufacturing process, and may be specially composed for high toughness.

The coating includes Aluminum, Magnesium, or Titanium alloy portions alloyed to the transition metal. The thermal spray powder is obtained of Aluminum, Magnesium, or Titanium containing particles mechanically alloyed to a transition metal.

A porous titanium sheet configured to function as an anode side gas diffusion layer of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is formed by a powder technique, such as tape casting or powder metallurgy.

Embodiments herein describe a method for hydrogen enhanced atomic transport. The method includes positioning a mold holding titanium metal particles of a titanium metallic powder in a chamber and, after flowing a gas mixture comprising hydrogen over the titanium metal particles in the chamber, positioning the chamber in a furnace that is preheated at a target temperature, where the target temperature is at least a decomposition temperature of titanium hydride. While maintaining the flow of the gas mixture, the titanium metal particles are heated to create a metallic product.

Metal composites, tooling and methods of additively manufacturing these are disclosed. Metal objects and structures as provided herein are additively manufactured from metal having an infill pattern infiltrated with a second metal.

A method of modifying the physical characteristics of a base titanium alloy article previously manufactured through a selective melting process is disclosed. The method includes introducing hydrogen through a thermohydrogen process to the base titanium alloy article, the resulting titanium alloy article exhibiting an isotropic and fine grained equiaxed microstructure. The thermohydrogen process may include introducing hydrogen into the base titanium alloy article to lower the beta transus temperature, heating the base titanium article above the lowered beta transus temperature to form hydrided beta, lowering the temperature of the base titanium alloy article to affect a eutectoid transformation, and dehydriding the base titanium alloy article via vacuum heating. The base titanium alloy article may have an elevated oxygen content and/or hydrogen may be introduced at 0.4 weight percent or greater.
