Aluminum–lithium alloys offer significant potential for lightweight construction, exhibiting decreased density and improved specific stiffness as the lithium content increases. The specific stiffness of these alloys improves with lithium concentrations up to 14 at%, outperforming that of pure aluminum.…
Powder materials are critical to numerous industrial applications, particularly in powder‐based additive manufacturing. Their thermal properties directly influence the building process and, consequently, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the fabricated components. The measurement of the…
Laser powder bed fusion is a cornerstone technology for additive manufacturing (AM) of metals and polymers, yet challenges in achieving consistent reproducibility and process optimization persist. Addressing these requires a systematic understanding of the interactions between feedstock, process parameters,…
Electromagnetic levitation (EML) was employed for studying the velocity and morphology of the solidification front as a function of undercooling of metallic materials. The limitation of the EML technique with respect to low melting alloys that emit outside the visible light spectrum was overcome by employing…
The understanding of rapid solidification behaviour, e.g. the undercooling versus growth velocity relationship, is crucial for tailoring microstructures and properties in metal alloys. In most rapid solidification processes, such as additive manufacturing (AM), in situ investigation of rapid solidification…
