TL;DR: Graphene has been successfully coated with a nano-Al layer through a novel activating treatment (i.e., organic aluminum reduction method) as discussed by the authors, which was further processed into AlSi10Mg alloy based composites through a selective laser melting (SLM) process.

TL;DR: This research explored a novel chemical reduction of organic aluminum for plating Al on a graphene surface and the thermodynamics of the Al plating reaction process were studied.

TL;DR: The SLM process is a dynamic process of rapid melting and solidification, and it was found there were larger temperature gradients near the turning of scan direction and at the overlap of the scanning line, which produced thermal strain and stress concentration and gave rise to warping deformations.

TL;DR: In this article, a preparation method of graphene aluminium base composite powder used for selective laser melting forming and relates to the field of metal matrix composite is presented, where the organic aluminium chemical reduction method is adopted to carry out aluminizing on the surface of graphene, and the vacuum ball-milling method is carried out on graphene and AlSi10Mg alloy powder to prepare the graphene aluminium-base composite powder uniformly distributed.

TL;DR: In this article, a device for additive manufacturing of a built-in circuit composite metal plate is presented, which can be used to reduce the manufacturing cost and increase the shaping efficiency.
