Effect of composition and phase diagram features on printability and microstructure in laser powder bed fusion: Development and comparison of processing maps across alloy systems

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained considerable academic and industrial interest due to its ability to produce parts with complex geometries with the potential for local microstructural control. However, due to the large number of material and process variables associated with AM, optimization of alloying compositions and process parameters to achieve desired properties is an arduous task. There is a fundamental gap in understanding how...
