Article analysis:

The article is generally reliable in its reporting of the effects of laser scanning speed on the microstructure, phase transformation and properties of NiTi alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The authors provide evidence for their claims through experiments designed specifically for this purpose, as well as through synchrotron X-ray diffraction to reveal the orientations of residual stress within the LPBF-NiTi alloys. The article also provides an overview of previous studies that have found that both the B2 ↔ B19′ martensite transformation behaviour and thermomechanical properties of LPBF-NiTi alloys are significantly affected by scanning speed.

However, there are some potential biases in the article that should be noted. For example, while it does mention possible risks associated with LPBF processing parameters, it does not explore them in detail or provide any evidence for these risks. Additionally, while it mentions counterarguments to its claims, it does not explore them in depth or present both sides equally. Furthermore, there is no discussion about promotional content or partiality in the article which could be seen as a potential bias.

In conclusion, while this article is generally reliable in its reporting on the effects of laser scanning speed on LPBF-NiTi alloys, there are some potential biases that should be taken into consideration when assessing its trustworthiness and reliability.
