Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“….% Ni were fabricated using a novel and simple powder supply system in LPBF. With no need to alter the mechanical setup of the LPBF machine or its powder feeding system, this strategy can efficiently create smooth compositional gradient without introducing significant chemical segregations. 7.6 wt.% Ni was proved to be the lower threshold for fabricating nearly full-density Cu-Ni binary alloy. …”
