3D and 4D metallic printing principles, practices, and applications

This practical guide clearly explains the tools and methods necessary to bridge the performance gap between conventionally produced and printed parts. Written by a metals expert and experienced educator, Additive Manufacturing of Metals: Fundamentals and Testing of 3- and 4-D Printing starts by explaining the basics, including components, metals, and production processes before progressing to more advanced topics. You will get complete discussions on issues related to the lack of regulation and standardization, mechanical behavior of printed parts, defects, measurements, and quality control. In addition, the book also discusses predictions for the future of the technology. It presents the potential obstacles that may limit its universal adoption across the manufacturing landscape.

Coverage includes:

  • Additive manufacturing fundamentals
  • History of additive manufacturing
  • Metal properties and data
  • Feedstock for metal additive manufacturing processes
  • Power considerations in metal additive manufacturing
  • Technical gaps
  • Powder morphology
  • Powder characterization and measurement of properties
  • Defects encountered in the build
  • Mechanical behavior of printed parts
  • Metrology and surface roughness issues in metal printing
  • Future trends
