Journal ArticleDOI

Additive manufacturing of metallic components – Process, structure and properties

TL;DR: A review of the emerging research on additive manufacturing of metallic materials is provided in this article, which provides a comprehensive overview of the physical processes and the underlying science of metallurgical structure and properties of the deposited parts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microstructural development during solidification of stainless steel alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of cooling rate on the microstructure of stainless steel alloys was investigated and the conditions that lead to the many microstructural morphologies that develop during solidification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat transfer and fluid flow during keyhole mode laser welding of tantalum, Ti–6Al–4V, 304L stainless steel and vanadium

TL;DR: In this paper, a keyhole model is developed and tested on tantalum, Ti-6Al-4V, 304L stainless steel and vanadium, and a turbulence model based on Prandtl's mixing length hypothesis is used to estimate the effective viscosity and thermal conductivity in the liquid region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scientific, technological and economic issues in metal printing and their solutions

TL;DR: 3D printing is now widely used in aerospace, healthcare, energy, automotive and other industries, and is the fastest growing sector, yet its development presents scientific, technological and economic challenges that must be understood and addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

In situ observations of lattice expansion and transformation rates of α and β phases in Ti–6Al–4V

TL;DR: In situ X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation were performed on Ti-6Al-4V samples to directly observe the α→β phase transformation during heating.
