TL;DR: The state-of-the-art of topological design and manufacturing processes of various types of porous metals, in particular for titanium alloys, biodegradable metals and shape memory alloys are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new ultrafine lamellar microstructures comprising ultrafine (∼200-300nm) α-laths and retained β phases were created via promoting in situ decomposition of a near α′ martensitic structure in Ti-6Al-4V additively manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM).

TL;DR: In this paper, a grain refinement model was developed for aluminum alloys, which took into account both alloy chemistry and nucleant particle potency, and was applied to experimental data for a range of magnesium alloys.

TL;DR: A comprehensive summary of the experimental data reported on the mechanical response of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) lattice structures can be found in this paper, where the design, fabrication and performance of SLM lattice structure are reviewed and the quality of data reported to inform best-practice for future studies.

TL;DR: The Interdependence Theory as mentioned in this paper links grain formation and nucleant selection to improve the ability to reveal the mechanisms of grain refinement, predict as-cast grain size and account for observations that only a small proportion of added inoculant particles nucleate grains.
