Science Daily  August 3, 2022 The additive manufacture of metal alloys by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) involves large temperature gradients and rapid cooling which enables microstructural refinement at the nanoscale to achieve high strength. However, high-strength nanostructured alloys produced by laser additive manufacturing often have limited ductility. A team of researchers in the US (UMass Amherst, Georgia Institute of Technology, Texas A&M, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Rice University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, UCLA) used L-PBF to print dual-phase nanolamellar high-entropy alloys (HEAs) of AlCoCrFeNi that exhibit a combination of a high yield strength of about 1.3 gigapascals and a large […]
