“…Another advancement in the SLM process is its ability to process different categories of materials such as crystalline (high-entropy alloys), quasicrystalline, and amorphous systems [ 115 , 116 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 ], which is difficult through the partial melting SLS process. The earlier attempts to process the pure metals were unsuccessful through SLS, the reason being that the high viscosity of liquid material caused a balling effect that restricted the process [ 128 , 129 ].…”
