“…The austenite formed increased the hardness, and laser power was directly related to grain size and corrosion resistance (increased the grain size and corrosion resistance). Hong et al [102] applied laser melting deposition AM to synthesize Inconel 625 composites with ultrafine TiC particles. The study focused on microstructure development, densification response, wear performance, tensile properties, and other mechanical properties and their relation to laser input energy per unit length.…”

Rapid prototyping (RP) or layered manufacturing (LM) technologies have been extensively used to manufacture prototypes composed mainly of plastics, polymers, paper, and wax due to the short product development time and low costs of these technologies. However, such technologies, with the exception of selective laser melting and sintering, are not used to fabricate metallic products because of the resulting poor life, short cycle, poor surface finish, and low structural integrity of the fabricated parts. The properties endowed by these parts do not match those of functional parts. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted to develop new additive manufacturing (AM) technologies by extending existing RP technologies. Several AM technologies have been developed for the fabrication of metallic objects. These technologies utilize materials, such as Ni-, Al-, and Ti-based alloys and stainless steel powders, to fabricate high-quality functional components. The present work reviews the type of materials used in laserbased AM processes for the manufacture of metallic products. The advantages and disadvantages of processes and different materials are summarized, and future research directions are discussed in the final section. This review can help experts select the ideal type of process or technology for the manufacturing of elements composed of a given alloy or material (Ni, Ti, Al, Pb, and stainless steel).

“…In this layer-wise fabrication process, the metallic materials are bonded together either by sintering, melting or other consolidation processes using high energy source such as high power laser, electron beam, or plasma arc. [56][57][58][59][60][61] For example, different fine and tailorable microstructures have been successfully fabricated using metal additive manufacturing techniques. [49][50][51] This means in metal additive manufacturing the requirement of high cooling rates can be decoupled from the sample dimensions.…”

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and high entropy alloys (HEAs) are both important multi-component alloys with novel microstructures and unique properties, which make them promising for applications in many industries. However, certain hindrances have been identified in the fabrication of BMGs and HEAs by conventional techniques due to the intrinsic requirements of BMGs and HEAs. With the advent of metal additive manufacturing, new opportunities have been perceived to fabricate geometrically complex BMGs and HEAs with tailorable microstructure theoretically at any site within the specimen, which are not achievable using conventional fabrication techniques. After providing some background and introducing the conventional fabrication techniques for BMGs and HEAs, this review will focus on the current status, development, and challenges in metal additive manufacturing of BMGs and HEAs including different additive manufacturing techniques being used, microstructure design and evolution, as well as properties of the fabricated BMGs and HEAs. A future outlook of metal additive manufacturing of BMGs and HEAs will also be provided at the end.

“…The friction coefficient with a high value of 1.7 at pressures below 0.1 Pa was observed and it decreased to a low value of 0.55 at 105 Pa. In order to enhance the wear resistance, the reinforced Inconel 625 with considerably size-reduced TiC particles was successfully prepared by Hong et al [9] using the laser metal deposition (LMD). During the LMD process, the in-situ interfacial reaction could be tailored between the TiC reinforcement and the Ni-based metal matrix to improve the interfacial wettability and bonding coherence and thus greatly enhancing the wear resistance.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) nickel-based superalloys have been demonstrated to equate or exceed mechanical properties of cast and wrought counterparts but their tribological potentials have not been fully realized. This study investigates fretting wear behaviors of Inconel 625 against the 42 CrMo4 stainless steel under flat-on-flat contacts. Inconel 625 is prepared by additive manufacturing (AM) using the electron beam selective melting. Results show that it has a high hardness (335 HV), superior tensile strength (952 MPa) and yield strength (793 MPa). Tribological tests indicate that the AM-Inconel 625 can suppress wear of the surface within a depth of only ~2.4 μm at a contact load of 106 N after 2 × 104 cycles. The excellent wear resistance is attributed to the improved strength and the formation of continuous tribo-layers containing a mixture of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Cr2O3 and Mn2O3.
