Cover Story: The emergence of selective laser melting (SLM) as a promising additive manufacturing (AM) technique has opened a new window allowing the fabrication of complex-shaped, custom-designed, and cost-effective components with unique microstructural and mechanical properties that differ from those produced by conventional manufacturing methods. The flexibility in alloy design associated with the SLM process has provided the opportunity to develop metal matrix composites with intricate geometries which have been overshadowed by alloys over the past few decades. The overarching goal of this review is to provide insights into the SLM-fabricated lightweight aluminum and titanium matrix composites applicable in the aerospace industry. View this paper.
