In this paper, the recent progress on Ti6Al4V fabricated by three mostly developed additive
manufacturing (AM) techniques-directed energy deposition (DED), selective laser melting …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has attracted much attention due to its capability in building
parts with complex geometries. Unfortunately, AM metals suffer from three major drawbacks …

Laser Cladding is one of the developing manufacturing techniques used for diverse
applications such as coating, repairing and prototyping. Complex processing phenomena …

The coaxial laser cladding process is the heart of direct metal deposition (DMD). Rapid
materials processing, such as DMD, is steadily becoming a tool for synthesis of materials, as …

A physics-based process model of laser powder-fed additive manufacturing (LPF-AM), a
class of directed energy deposition, is established in this paper. The model can perform an …

Laser direct deposition is widely used for rapid freeform fabrication of fully dense
components with good metallurgical properties directly from computer-aided design …

The additive manufacturing technique of laser direct metal deposition allows multiple tracks
of full density metallic material to be built to form complex parts for rapid tooling and …

A high deposition rate blown powder directed energy deposition process is presented. Clad
tracks are deposited and the process is observed by high-speed imaging. An island of …

Laser cladding is one of the material additive manufacturing processes used to produce a
metallurgically bonded deposition layer. To obtain a high-quality resulting part, a deep …

In laser cladding thermal contraction of the initially liquid coating during cooling causes
residual stresses and possibly cracks. Preweld or postweld heating using inductors can …
