Spatter is an inherent, unpreventable, and undesired phenomenon in laser powder bed
fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. Spatter behavior has an intrinsic correlation with the …

The production of metal parts via laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing is growing
exponentially. However, the transition of this technology from production of prototypes to …

Laser additive manufacturing (AM) technology is widely applied in manufacturing critical
components (eg, rocket fuel nozzles, satellite antenna mounts and human implants, etc.) in …

Unique crystal textures formed by selective laser melting of a CoCrMo alloy were
characterized by electron backscattered diffraction. Preferred crystallographic orientations …

Additive manufacturing has multiple advantages over conventional fabrication techniques,
such as the geometrical freedom and, to a great extent, the omission of tooling equipment …

High thermal gradients and complex melt pool instabilities involved in powder bed fusion–
based metal additive manufacturing using focused Gaussian-shaped beams often lead to …

We present a semi-coupled resolved Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Discrete
Element Method (DEM) to simulate a class of granular media problems that involve thermal …

A major factor slowing down the establishment of additive manufacturing processes as
production processes is insufficient reproducibility and productivity. Therefore, this work …

Abstract The ß-type Ti-42Nb alloy was processed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) with an
infrared top hat laser configuration aiming to control the Young's modulus by creating an …
