Fine-structured aluminium products with controllable texture by selective laser melting of pre-alloyed AlSi10Mg powder

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.

Consolidation phenomena in laser and powder-bed based layered manufacturing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe which types of laser-induced consolidation can be applied to what type of material, and demonstrate that although SLS/SLM can process polymers, metals, ceramics and composites, quite some limitations and problems cause the palette of applicable materials still to be limited.
