Advances in Metal Additive Manufacturing 

Advances in Metal Additive Manufacturing explains fundamental information and the latest research on new technologies, including powder bed fusion, direct energy deposition using high energy beams, and hybrid additive and subtractive methods. This book introduces readers to the technology, provides everything needed to understand how the different stages work together, and inspires to think beyond traditional metal processing to capture new ideas in metal. Chapters offer an introduction on metal additive manufacturing, processes, and properties and standards and then present surveys on the most significant international advances in metal additive manufacturing. Throughout, the book presents a focus on the effect of important process parameters on the microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of additively manufactured parts. Covers the entire process chain of metal additive manufacturing, from input data preparation to part certification Describes a wide range of the latest design tools and options, including generative design, topology optimization, and lattice and surface optimization Addresses additive manufacturing, with a comprehensive list of metals including titanium, aluminum, iron-and nickel-based alloys and Inconel 718
