| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing of metals is emerging and rapidly growing manufacturing technique from prototyping to large production runs. This process involves the fusion of metal powder bed by selectively melting above the melting temperature and building layers on top of each other. The imminent advantages of producing complex geometries, unprecedented manufacturing flexibility, product customization and at the same time economically viable process makes it a potentially disruptive technology for different industrial applications. The huge interest of industries for adapting this technology also brought the attention of research community to work in this area with full potential. The changed melting and solidification dynamics during additive manufacturing, results into striking differences in the microstructural evolution in comparison to the one obtained through conventional casting process. This research will elucidate the microstructure, electrochemical response and the nature of passive oxide film formed on the wrought and additively manufactured metallic materials alloys. |
