2000W Blue laser directed energy deposition of AlSi7Mg: process parameters, molten pool characteristics, and appearance defects

Aluminium alloys are difficult to be manufactured by directed energy deposition (DED) with the widely used infrared laser because of the low absorptivity. A blue laser with a 450 nm wavelength has a significantly higher laser absorptivity in processing aluminium. Here, we developed a 2000 W blue las...
