Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the major additive manufacturing techniques that
industries have adopted to produce complex metal components. The scientific and industrial …

Whilst the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) of aluminum alloys is relatively slower
compared with that of steels and titanium alloys, it has undergone a flourishing trend in the …

Additive manufacturing (AM) as a disruptive technology has received much attention in
recent years. In practice, however, much effort is focused on the AM of polymers. It is …

The unprecedented increase in component design space has led to significant focus on
fusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. The new design possibilities …

Selective laser melting (SLM) produces a large amount of residual stress which limits its
applicability. Despite the increasing number of studies to understand the relationship …

In this study, seven AlSi10Mg bulks with different construction angles (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°,
75°, and 90°) were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). The effects of different …

In this study, the effects of volume energy density (VED) on densification behaviour, surface
morphology and loss of alloying elements of 7075 aluminium alloy processed by laser …

Cracking is one of the most serious problems for the development of selective laser melting
(SLM) of high strength aluminum alloys. The process parameters applied in the SLM …

It is well known that the addition of Sc and Ag to Al alloys can promote the nucleation of α-Al
grains and θ′-Al 2 Cu precipitates. In this study, the effects of Sc and Ag on grain size and …

With laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of aluminum alloys growing in recent years, the
research focus is progressively shifting from processing attempts on mature cast and …
