2. Influence of base plate preheating on laser powder bed fusion–processed EN AW-7075 aluminium aloyNejc Velikajne, Jože Medved, Črtomir Donik, Irena Paulin, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The influence of base plate temperature (25, 100, 200, and 400 °C) on the laser powder bed fusion processing of EN AW 7075 was systematically investigated using microstructural characterisation (LM, SEM, EBSD, GROD), chemical analysis, hardness testing, and thermal simulations across a broad range of process parameters. Moderate preheating at 100 °C and 200 °C showed no significant reduction in crack density or changes in grain morphology compared to processing without preheating. At the highest studied temperature—400 °C—a transition to columnar crack networks was observed, accompanied by modified grain orientation, pronounced stress relaxation, and reduced hardness. Independent of preheating temperature, consistent evaporation of Zn (~1 wt.%) and Mg (~0.3 wt.%) occurred during processing. Thermal simulations qualitatively supported the experimental observations, indicating increased thermal retention and displacement with increasing preheating temperature. The results demonstrate that base plate preheating alone is insufficient to suppress hot cracking in EN AW 7075 and may promote alternative crack-growth mechanisms at elevated temperatures, highlighting the need for alternative alloy or process design strategies.

9. Workflow and practical guidance for identical location scanning electron microscopy: reliable tracking of localized transformationsBlaž Tomc, Marjan Bele, Ana Rebeka Kamšek, Milena Martins, Aleš Marsel, Miha Hotko, Stefan Popović, Gregor Kapun, Črtomir Donik, Mitja Kostelec, Matjaž Godec, Nejc Hodnik, Luka Suhadolnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Understanding material transformations at the nano- and microscale is essential for advancing electrocatalysis, energy storage, and other applications. Conventional SEM imaging, which captures random locations before and after treatment, struggles to distinguish real transformations from inherent sample heterogeneity. Identical Location SEM (IL-SEM) overcomes this by enabling re-imaging of the exact same region, offering clear evidence of localized changes in morphology, structure, and composition. Despite its simplicity and wide applicability, IL-SEM remains underutilized. This article presents a detailed, practical guide to implementing IL-SEM reliably, including sample alignment, multiscale imaging, and consistent re-localization. Key methodological tips and solutions to common challenges are provided, making the approach accessible even for non-expert users. To showcase its versatility, we present case studies involving electrocatalysts, alloys, and nanostructured materials. Moreover, by integrating IL-SEM with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), we demonstrate how compositional and crystallographic evolution can be tracked alongside morphological changes. This optimized workflow offers a powerful, non-destructive method for visualizing dynamic material behavior and provides a foundation for IL-SEM to become a standard technique for studying structural evolution across diverse materials research fields.

10. Grain-resolved mapping of oxygen evolution activation on a Ni-superalloyČrtomir Donik, Luka Suhadolnik, Blaž Tomc, Anton Voronkin, Jon Ustarroz, Marjan Bele, Matjaž Godec, Nejc Hodnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We report the first grain-resolved mapping of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activation on a Ni-based superalloy using identicallocation EBSD, complemented by IL-SEM, IL-EDS, and SECCM. NiFe (oxy)hydroxide film formation and OER activity are strongly influenced by grain size and orientation, with (111)-oriented and smaller grains showing the highest activity. These findings reveal pronounced microstructure heterogeneity and establish IL-EBSD as a powerful tool for guiding the design of advanced electrocatalysts.
