Additive manufacturing allows exceptional geometry design freedom, enabling part customization, lightweighting, and increased efficiency. This talk will further emphasize the capability of additive manufacturing technologies and, in particular, of laser powder bed fusion, to add value to metallic materials by generating unprecedented microstructures. Highlighted examples include site-specific texture development and grain boundary engineering in aerospace alloys, quasicrystal precipitation in high temperature aluminum alloys, and the fabrication of bulk amorphous metals for soft magnetics.
