In selective laser melting (SLM), a powdered material is locally melted by and, after cooling, forms coherent solid structure that enables the production of complex geometries with various materials. The process involves extreme heating and cooling rates thus, large temperature gradients, which lead to anisotropic properties on macroscopic scale in worst case, reduced mechanical properties. ord...

Laser materials processing includes rapid heating to possibly high temperatures and cooling of the illuminated materials. The material reactions can show significant deviations from equilibrium processing. During complex combinations, it is mainly unknown how react mix. However, important know which chemical elements or compounds are present in define alloy. In addition, their distribution afte...
