LLNL Study Shows Laser Speed Can Tune Metal Properties During 3D Printing

In a recent study, scientists at U.S. federal research laboratory Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) demonstrated that metal properties in additive manufacturing can be deliberately adjusted during fabrication. By modifying laser scan speed while printing high-entropy alloys, the team showed how cooling rates influence atomic structure as the metal solidifies. The findings indicate that material […]
