TL;DR: In this article, the development of the microstructure of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) was studied by light optical microscopy.
2,201 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the high thermal gradients occurring during SLM lead to a very fine microstructure with submicron-sized cells, which can be modified to a weak cube texture along the building and scanning directions when a rotation of 90° of the scanning vectors within or between the layers is applied.
1,431 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of several heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V processed by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is studied.
1,320 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of selective laser melting (SLM) for AlSi10Mg parts and compared them to those of conventionally cast AlSi 10Mg.
607 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of the morphological and crystallographic texture on the competitive growth of selective laser melting (SLM) of a metal powder with a preferential crystal orientation along the building direction.

TL;DR: This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for "experimenters") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment.
Abstract: THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

4,192 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the complex relationship between additive manufacturing processes, microstructure and resulting properties for metals, and typical microstructures for additively manufactured steel, aluminium and titanium are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques for producing metal parts are explored, with a focus on the science of metal AM: processing defects, heat transfer, solidification, solid-state precipitation, mechanical properties and post-processing metallurgy.
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), widely known as 3D printing, is a method of manufacturing that forms parts from powder, wire or sheets in a process that proceeds layer by layer. Many techniques (using many different names) have been developed to accomplish this via melting or solid-state joining. In this review, these techniques for producing metal parts are explored, with a focus on the science of metal AM: processing defects, heat transfer, solidification, solid-state precipitation, mechanical properties and post-processing metallurgy. The various metal AM techniques are compared, with analysis of the strengths and limitations of each. Only a few alloys have been developed for commercial production, but recent efforts are presented as a path for the ongoing development of new materials for AM processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the recoil pressure and Marangoni convection in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of 316L stainless steel was demonstrated. And the results were validated against the experiments and the sensitivity to laser absorptivity was discussed.
