Selective laser melting of nickel superalloys : solidification, microstructure and material response

The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process generates large thermal gradients during rapid melting, and during solidification certain nickel superalloys suffer from thermally induced micro-cracking which cannot be eliminated by process optimisation. This investigation sought to investigate and underst...
