Abstract Metal 3D printing (3DP), a state-of-the-art manufacturing technology that brings the
potential to fabricate complex structures at low cost and reduced energy consumption, has …

Hot tearing is one of the most severe and irreversible casting defects for many metallic
materials. In 2004, Eskin et al. published a review paper in which the development of hot …

To develop an aluminum alloy that combines excellent mechanical properties with good
castability for near-net-shape casting of automotive structural parts, new Cu–free medium …

Solidification cracking, also referred to as hot tearing, is a metallurgical defect associated
with solidification-based manufacturing processes (eg, welding and casting) that affects …

In this study, a series of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy with different compositions added with Zr and Sc
refiners are designed. The effect of main alloying elements (Zn, Mg, and Cu) on the grain …

The influences of microstructure and solidification parameters on the hot cracking behaviour
of an additively manufactured Ni-based superalloy via selective electron beam melting …

Hot tearing is often a major casting defect in magnesium alloys and has a significant impact
on the quality of their casting products. Hot tearing of magnesium alloys is a complex …

Abstract Al-Li-Cu alloys are competitive structural materials owing to their unique
combination of low density and high specific strength. However, their severe hot tearing …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are widely used in bioapplications due to its biodegradable nature,
suitable biological and mechanical properties. Also, Mg has a low density (ρ= 1.74 g/cm 3) …

Abstract Ternary Mg− Al− Ca alloys are the base of a few new creep-resistant, lightweight
Mg alloys for automobiles. Hot tearing in Mg− x Al− yCa alloys was studied, including Mg …
