TL;DR: In this paper, the starting material, manufacturing processes, heat treatment and characterization procedures of mechanical properties are presented, and the microstructure is crucial for the mechanical properties of IN718.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of slice thickness, overlap rate, building direction and hatch angle on tensile properties of SLMed 304 stainless steel samples are investigated, and it is found that the tensile strength and ductility of the SLMed samples at proper parameters are higher than those of the wrought 304 steel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative density, microstructure, microhardness and tensile properties of the deposited AZ91D samples at different laser energy inputs were characterized, and the results indicate that laser energy input plays a significant role in determining formation qualities of the SLMed samples.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the scientific contributions from Chinese LIBS community for the following four aspects: fundamentals, instrumentation, data processing and modeling, and applications; and the driving force of LIBS development in China was analyzed, the critical issues for successful LIBS application are discussed, and in their opinion, the potential direction to improve the technology and to realize large scale commercialization in China is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative density, metallurgical bonding mechanisms, microstructure and mechanical properties of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel samples with 60-150μm powder layers are presented.
