The Thermo-Mechanical Coupling Effect in Selective Laser Melting of Aluminum Alloy Powder

In the selective laser melting process, metal powder melted by the laser heat source generates large instantaneous energy, resulting in transient high temperature and complex stress distribution. Different temperature gradients and anisotropy finally determine the microstructure after melting and af...
