Preventing columnar grain formation during additive manufacturing has become a
significant challenge. Columnar grains are generally regarded as unfavourable as their …

Objective This paper provides a brief review of relatively new additive manufacturing
technologies for the fabrication of unusual and complex metal and alloy products by laser …

Fusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) offers a new opportunity to design metallic
materials with complex, direction-dependent mechanical properties by controlling the …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals and alloys is becoming a pervasive technology in
both research and industrial environments, though significant challenges remain before …

In the past few decades, additive manufacturing has evolved for the one-step fabrication of
various complex, customized metallic components that cannot be easily and economically …

Grain-scale microstructure evolution during additive manufacturing is a complex physical
process. As with traditional solidification methods of material processing (eg casting and …

This study defined hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) as “in-situ or series combination of an
additive manufacturing process and secondary energy sources in which physical …

In this work, we apply a multi-scale model combining finite-element method (FEM) and
phase-field model (PFM) to simulate the evolution of solidification microstructures at different …

Intelligent application of materials with site-specific properties will undoubtedly allow more
efficient components and use of resources. Despite such materials being ubiquitous in …

Additive manufacturing (AM) builds materials layer upon layer with the aid of an energy
source. During AM processing, the complex thermal behaviors—directional heat flux, rapid …
