Laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) is a widely-used metal additive manufacturing
process due to its high potential for fabrication flexibility and quality. Its process and …

Abstract Alloy 718 is a Ni-Fe-based superalloy, which has been successfully adapted to
powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing because of the alloy's adaptability with …

Volumetric defect types commonly observed in the additively manufactured parts differ in
their morphologies ascribed to their formation mechanisms. Using high-resolution X-ray …

Effective post-heat treatment is critical to achieve desired microstructure for high
performance of additive manufacturing (AM) components. In this work, the timing influence of …

This study compares and analyzes the morphology, size, oxygen content, and microstructure
of virgin and recycled powders after six iterations to assess the mechanical properties of the …

This work investigates the effects of powder characteristics, particularly particle size
distribution (PSD), on the micro-/defect-structure, tensile, and fatigue properties of Grade 23 …

This work investigated the effects of powder reuse, and location dependency on the
mechanical properties of plasma atomized Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 parts manufactured via laser …

Purpose The mechanical characterization of selective laser melting (SLM) parts is an
industrial challenge. This paper aims to propose a methodology to control the fatigue life of …

Defects innate in additively manufactured components may lead to inferior and more scatter
in fatigue lives, thus challenging the qualification of these components in fatigue-critical …

The usage of an appropriate shield gas for laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) of the
popular 17− 4 precipitation hardened (PH) stainless steel (SS) has long been debated in the …
