| Abstract Scope |
Powder metallurgy and mechanical alloying present powerful alternatives to conventional processing routes for enhancing the ductility of molybdenum and related refractory metals. By leveraging non-equilibrium synthesis pathways and fine-scale microstructural control, these techniques offer new opportunities to circumvent the intrinsic brittleness that has historically limited broader adoption of such materials. This work explores emerging strategies to tailor composition, defect structures, and phase distributions, with an emphasis on how these developments may intersect with additive manufacturing. Preliminary findings suggest that unconventional processing methods could unlock pathways toward fabricable, high-performance refractory alloys for extreme environments. Implications for AM integration will be discussed. |
