Controlling grain nucleation and morphology by laser beam shaping in metal additive manufacturing

Gaussian laser intensity profiles are standard in laser-based metal additive manufacturing, although recent work in single-layer melt tracks showed that beam shaping could offer a feasible route towards microstructural control. Since thermal cycling and grain orientation templating in multilayer bui...
