Additive manufacturing of metals

This chapter reviews and discusses various aspects of texture analysis. The concentration is o the various methods of extracting textural features from images. The geometric, random field, fractal, and signal processing models of texture are presented. The major classes of texture processing pro lems such as segmentation, classification, and shape from texture are discussed. The possible applic tion areas of texture such as automated inspection, document processing, and remote sensing a summarized. A bibliography is provided at the end for further reading.

Texture analysis

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.
