TL;DR: A Damascus-like steel consisting of alternating hard and soft layers is created by using a laser additive manufacturing technique and digital control of the processing parameters, showing superior mechanical properties to those of ancient Damascus steel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the same and opposite directions of re-melting were performed in AlSi10Mg parts by selective laser melting (SLM) technology to investigate surface roughness and porosity with confocal microscopy, micro-computed tomography (CT) and optical microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined experimental and computational modeling study on the scraping type of powder-spreading process, in order to understand the fundamental mechanisms of the packing of the powder layer, is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of noteworthy contributions in terms of SLM process parameters, defects and various post processing techniques considered by various researchers is aimed for critical review, which can clearly facilitate in developing a better scientific understanding of SLMed Ti6Al4V alloy.

TL;DR: The Materials Properties Handbook: Titanium Alloys as discussed by the authors provides a data base for information on titanium and its alloys, and the selection of specific alloys for specific applications, including applications, physical properties, corrosion, mechanical properties (including design allowances where available), fatigue, fracture properties, and elevated temperature properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of the microstructure of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) was studied by light optical microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a summary of the most useful information required to understand titanium and its alloys and present a review of the significant features of the metallurgy and application of titanium and alloys.

TL;DR: The current results demonstrate that specific regions of interest can be accessed and preserved throughout the sample-preparation process and that this preparation method leads to high-quality atom probe analysis of such nano-structures.
