Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process that creates materials with unique microstructures and properties under extreme conditions such as high cooling rates, temperature gradients, and solidification rates. These conditions affect various materials such as metals, alloys, and advanced materials. However, the characteristics of these materials depend on their physical properties and the process conditions. Therefore, there have been various attempts to control the microstructure in AM by applying specially designed processes and optimizing the parameters. This Special Issue aims to present the latest research on materials with unique microstructures and properties formed under extreme conditions in AM. It will cover topics such as:
- Formation mechanisms and the characterization of microstructures in AM;
- Effects of residual stress and compositional modulation on materials’ properties in AM;
- Methods and techniques to control and optimize the microstructure in AM;
- Applications and challenges of materials formed under extreme conditions in AM;
- Anisotropy of highly oriented materials’ properties of materials’ crystal growth under extreme conditions in PBF;
- The creation of new materials by utilizing a large temperature gradient and rapid solidification;
- Influences of thermal stress on materials’ properties fabricated in additive manufacturing, and their mitigation;
- Experimental studies, computational modeling, and data-driven studies relevant to the above-mentioned phenomena.
This special issue was organized by the Organizing Committee of the international conference “Creation of Materials by Super-Thermal Field (CMSTF) 2023,” which will be held in Osaka from November 15 to 17, 2023. Submissions are encouraged in conjunction with participation in the conference, but we welcome submissions regardless of whether you are able to attend.”
