Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Additive manufacturing or Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDL) has revolutionized the manufacturing industry and explored the new horizons with unlimited design freedom. It can produce intricate as well as topology optimized functional parts which can have improved mechanical properties and light-weighting. These aspects made it one of the main pillars for industry 4.0. Furthermore, every industry has a variety of applications of this manufacturing technology. More and more research are going on to develop new materials, incorporation of new design concepts which are not possible in traditional manufacturing and to devise novel techniques for the manufacturing of functional components.

In the light of the above scenario of the growing industrial importance of additive manufacturing, this Special Issue will include and is intended to report cutting edge advances of industrial application of additive manufacturing along with innovations in the exiting techniques and in materials for this technology. It is open to both original research articles able to enhance knowledge on 3D printing and review articles to take stock of state-of-the-art literature.

The following topics can get the highest attention in this special Issue:

  • Additive manufacturing investigation and process innovations
  • Novel applications of additive manufacturing
  • Characterization (i.e., mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological) of additively manufactured components compared with simulation results
  • Additive manufacturing of metamaterials
  • Advancement of material performance through additive manufacturing
  • Tessellations of unit cells
  • Energy absorption structures e.g., wave springs, foam filled structure.

Surface roughness quality is still a significant problem in the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. This study proposes a wobble-based scanning strategy to improve the insufficiencies of the traditional scanning strategy with regard to surface roughness. A laboratory LPBF system with a self-developed controller was used to fabricate Permalloy (Fe-79Ni-4Mo) with two scanning methods: traditional line scanning (LS) and the proposed wobble-based scanning (WBS). This study investigates the influences of these two scanning strategies on porosity and surface roughness. The results imply that WBS can maintain higher surface accuracy than LS, and the surface roughness can be reduced by about 45%. Furthermore, WBS can produce periodic surface structures arranged in fish scales or parallelograms with appropriate parameters. Full article

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been used for the first time to investigate the microstructure of additively manufactured molybdenum. Despite the wide applicability of positron annihilation spectroscopy techniques to the defect analysis of metals, they have only been used sparingly to monitor the microstructural evolution of additively manufactured metals. Molybdenum and molybdenum with a dilute addition (0.1 wt%) of nano-sized silicon carbide, prepared via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) at four different scan speeds: 100, 200, 400, and 800 mm/s, were studied by PALS and compared with electron backscatter diffraction analysis. The aim of this study was to clarify the extent to which PALS can be used to identify microstructural changes resulting from varying LPBF process parameters. Grain sizes and misorientation results do not correlate with positron lifetimes indicating the positrons are sampling regions within the grains. Positron annihilation spectroscopy identified the presence of dislocations and nano-voids not revealed through electron microscopy techniques and correlated with the findings of SiO2 nanoparticles in the samples prepared with silicon carbide. The comparison of results indicates the usefulness of positron techniques to characterize nano-structure in additively manufactured metals due to the significant increase in atomic-level information.
