Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys

The influence of the laser scan strategy on grain structure and cracking behaviour in SLM powder-bed fabricated nickel superalloy

With the presentation of a theory of liquid alloys, we have now assembled all the necessary tools for the ab initio construction of an alloy phase diagram.
