Experimental and computational studies on hot cracking in single laser tracks of aluminium alloy AA2024 and related implications for laser powder bed fusion

Abstract Laser powder bed fusion of high-strength aluminium alloys remains challenging due to the formation of hot cracks during the printing process. Hot cracking is a complex phenomenon involving a complex thermo-mechanical and metallurgical interplay. Such relationship needs to be fully understoo...
