Abstract Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) techniques constitute a family of Additive Manufacturing
(AM) processes, which are characterised by high design flexibility and no tooling …

Inconel superalloys are one of the main classes of materials with good potential for
production using the additive manufacturing process of laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) …

Undoubtedly, a better understanding and the further development of approaches for
damage tolerant component design of AM parts are among the most significant challenges …

We present a detailed analysis of the hybrid fabrication of test parts made from Inconel 718
using two additive-manufacturing (AM) technologies: selective laser melting (SLM) and …

Sandwich-structured composites are in high demand in various industries, and additive
manufacturing has proven its ability to meet this demand. As a result of the advances in …

The aim of the current study is to investigate the suitability of a solutionizing recrystallization
(RC) heat-treatment to improve the yield strength of laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) Inconel …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has increasingly been used to fabricate parts in aerospace
applications, which may require service lives beyond ten-million cycles due to the imposed …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing, formally known as Additive Manufacturing (AM)
has been significantly developed and widely used in recent years. Although this …

Porosity—and hence poor fatigue performance—is a major concern for additively
manufactured (AM) alloys using powders as the raw materials. Since the microstructures in …

The cumulative effect of many incidents that are brought about by an increase in
temperature establishes an environment in which premature failure (including fatigue …
