Processability of A6061 Aluminum Alloy Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion by In Situ Synthesis of Grain Refiners

Despite the increasing interest in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), only a few cast aluminum alloys are available for this process. This study focuses on improving the LPBF processability of the A6061 alloy, which is challenging due to its wide solidification range, the dendritic columnar grain growt...
