A selective laser melting (SLM)-fabricated NiTi with superior tensile property and shape memory recoverability was obtained by using a unique stripe rotation scanning strategy. Here, the alloy characteristics, formation mechanisms and evolution in terms of twins, dislocations and precipitations of the alloy were systematically studied. Compared to the conventional smelting-followed-by-machining, the SLM fabrication process involves rapid solidification and repeated heating, which confer distinctive characteristics to the microstructures of SLM-fabricated NiTi alloys. Rapid solidification promotes the formation of a supersaturation solid solution matrix containing a high concentration vacancies, which in turn aggregate to generate a high density of dislocations. During subsequent repeated heating stages, these dislocations occur thermal motion along three directions of <001 > , <111> and <110 >, leading to the formation of thermal kinks, helical dislocations and wave morphology. Simultaneously, precipitated particles Ti₃Ni₄ repeatedly nucleate and heterogeneous grow with the movement of dislocation. Such precipitation behavior, termed repeated precipitation, has not been previously reported in the conventional NiTi alloys, suggesting that it could be a unique characteristic of such alloy. After martensitic transformation, only two twins, {1 1¯ 1} type I twin and compound twin, are detected. The twinning lamellae of these two twins, where precipitation and dislocation pile-ups exist, often have uneven thickness and chaotic arrangement. Besides, the unique self-accommodated microstructures, such as secondary {1 1¯ 1} type I twin and compound twin with “herring-bone’’ lamellae, which often appear in the deformed or nanocrystalline NiTi, can also be observed. These unique microstructures may confer the distinctive properties to the SLM-fabricated NiTi.
