High-fidelity modelling of selective laser melting copper alloy: Laser reflection behavior and thermal-fluid dynamics

Despite of the promising capabilities of selective laser melting (SLM), the poor formability of copper and its alloys is a critical challenge for industrial applications, which is widely-believed attributed to the high reflectivity of copper. Due to the difficulty of observing laser reflections, cur...
