Selective Laser Melting Additive Manufactured Tantalum: Effect of Microstructure and Impurities on the Strengthening-Toughing Mechanism

The balance between the strength and the toughness of pure tantalum (Ta) fabricated with selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing is a major challenge due to the defect generation and affinity for oxygen and nitrogen. This study investigated the effects of energy density and post-vacuum...
