| Abstract Scope |
In the modern world Additive Manufacturing (AM), is becoming an exceptional manufacturing route. Industrial parts with complicated geometries can be produced in a single step process. The laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is one of the most promising AM techniques. The growth of Industrial needs to lightweight materials with superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties has made aluminum (Al) and Al alloys a favorable material. The content of interstitial elements such as Oxygen in Al/Al alloys are very important in the integrity, physical, thermal, and electrical properties of manufactured pieces. Al matrix composites (AMCs) are another family of structural materials, with wide variety of applications. Graphene with extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties is used in AMCs. The study of C content of the graphene reinforced AMCs after L-PBF is crucial. HORIBA offers multiple instruments to tackle complex measurements on both starting materials and manufactured pieces to benefit the AM process. |
