Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) combined with reaction bonding (RB) of Al particles is an
effective method for preparing high-performance 3D Al 2 O 3 ceramic foams. However, the …

The large shrinkage that ceramics undergo during sintering is a severe challenge for high-
performance porous ceramics. In this study, we report a powder-based selective laser …

Aluminum (Al) metal is highly reactive but has excellent corrosion resistance because of the
formation of a self-healing passive oxide layer on the surface. Here, we report that this native …

Porosity is a limiting factor in the processing of aluminum-alloys with Directed Energy
Deposition (DED) and other Additive Manufacturing technologies, such as Laser Powder …

The high porosity and interconnectivity of scaffolds are critical for nutrient transmission in
bone tissue engineering but usually lead to poor mechanical properties. Herein, a novel …

AlSiC composites is an irreplaceable material for high temperature semiconductor devices
due to its unique performance of high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient …

Mechanisms governing the nucleation and defect growth during solidification of
undercooled aluminum (Al) in the presence of oxide clusters are studied by molecular …

Oxide layer is easily formed on the surface of some metal droplets, which affects the
dynamic behavior of droplet impact. In this paper, experiments were conducted for the …
