...Bo Chen; Peizhi Yu; Yi Su; Caiwang Tan; Xiaoguo Song; Yunxia Chen Purpose Laser metal deposition is an ideal method to fabricate functionally graded materials (FGMs) whose properties vary with the dimensions, and the transition layer would highly influence the mechanical properties. However...

.... Additive manufacturing Additive manufacturing Laser cladding Crushed iron ore High-speed imaging Laser metal deposition Laser additive manufacturing with a powder feedstock is a technique, which is growing in popularity in industry. One of its limitations is the high cost of high quality...

...Ruidong Xie; Dichen Li; Bin Cui; Lianzhong Zhang; Feng Gao Purpose Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an important additive manufacturing (AM) technology, but the metallurgical defects, such as cracks and porosities, produced in LMD process will seriously affect the mechanical properties of the parts...

...Shyam Barua; Frank Liou; Joseph Newkirk; Todd Sparks Purpose – Laser metal deposition (LMD) is a type of additive manufacturing process in which the laser is used to create a melt pool on a substrate to which metal powder is added. The powder is melted within the melt pool and solidified to form...
