Techniques for producing high relative density aluminium alloy components with selective laser melting

Previous work has shown that the processing of aluminium alloys by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is challenging, with fully dense components only being produced at high laser powers (minimum 330 W). The high laser power requirement for these parts is a problem as it is higher than that available in...
