“…The LPBF process has been successfully employed for the fabrication of dense components made of various Ni-based superalloys such as Inconel 625 and Inconel 718 [9,12,13]. However, several Ni-based superalloys are prone to cracking during the LPBF due to their low weldability or the inappropriate selection of process parameters [2,4,14,15,16,17]. For instance, Hastelloy X (HX) alloy is characterized by susceptibility to crack formation when processed by LPBF [2,18,19,20,21,22,23].…”
