In situ X-ray imaging of defect and molten pool dynamics in laser additive manufacturing

In situ X-ray imaging of defect and molten pool dynamics in laser additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing of metals is now widely available, but the interaction of the metal powder with the laser remains unclear. Here, the authors use X-rays to image melt features and pore behaviour during laser melting of powders.
