Laser Preheating for Hot Crack Reduction in Direct Metal Deposition of Inconel 738LC

Welding of precipitation-hardenable nickel-based super alloys that contain large amounts of Al and Ti is challenging due to their high susceptibility to hot cracking. For metal additive manufacturing (AM) by powder bed fusion (PBF) or direct metal deposition (DMD), various welding process adjustment...
