Effect of the build orientation on mechanical and electrical properties of pure Cu fabricated by E-PBF

Electrical conductors are usually made of pure copper because this material shows outstanding electrical conductivity (IACS > 100%). Additive manufacturing can be used to further improve the performances of such electrical conductors because it enables to consider sophisticated geometries impossible to be fabricated by conventional processing routes such as casting, machining or hot forming. In the present work, Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion...
