We review the progress of additive manufacturing effort on refractory metal tungsten and
tungsten alloys. These materials are excellent candidates for a variety of high temperature …

Cemented carbides, known as the" teeth of industry", are widely used in aerospace,
resource mining, equipment manufacturing, rail transit, and electronic information industries …

Tungsten (W) materials are gaining more and more attention due to the extended
applications of metallic systems in the extreme environments. Given W's unique …

In this work, processing of molybdenum and tungsten by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is
analyzed. The study reveals the impact of the oxygen content of the powder, the process …

WC-Co hardmetals are widely used in wear-resistant parts, cutting tools, molds, and mining
parts, owing to the combination of high hardness and high toughness. WC-Co hardmetal …

Tungsten is receiving increasing interest as a plasma facing material in the ITER fusion
reactor, collimators, and other structural, high temperature applications. Concurrently, there …

Coupling a multi-scale thermo-kinetic and thermo-mechanical model with critical
experiments, the present study investigates the role of process parameters on the resulting …

For decades, the promise of refractory alloys (robust structural materials for use above 1500
K (1200° C)) has been hampered by concurrent requirements for fabricability via ingot …

The surface morphology of a product plays a crucial role under mechanical loading and
chemical environment. Surfaces of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) products often contain …

A Single laser scan was performed on a sintered WC/Co composite and the process
conditions were optimized to realize a WC/Co two-phase microstructure in a WC/Co …
