Researchers Develop Strategy for Microstructure Control in Additive Manufacturing

Post Views: 488 Additive Manufacturing, Microstructure control Researchers from the University of Toronto have developed a new strategy to control microstructure in Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) additive manufacturing. Their method manipulates the overlap of melt pools to influence grain structure, without altering typical energy densities or scan patterns. Published in Scripta Materialia, this innovative approach has great potential to improve material properties in various additive manufacturing (AM) applications.   Controlling Grain Structure in Stainless Steel In the study, th...
