Ensuring additive manufactured metal components are free of major defects is crucial to the application of this new technology in medical and aerospace industries. One source of defects in such parts is lack of fusion ...

The effect of porosity on the mechanical properties of cast titanium alloy was investigated in this work, specifically for investment-cast Ti6Al4V. X-ray micro computed tomography (microCT) was used to nondestructively analyse ...

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technology used to melt metal powder by high laser power to produce customised parts, light-weight structures, or other complex objects. During DMLS, powder ...
