In this study, fully dense tungsten samples were additively manufactured and the micro-structure behavior was studied. A crack network with a spacing of 20μm up to 100μm was found in the designed samples. It was noticed that the laser scanning approach, which could customize the microstructure, affected the crack behavior in manufactured tungsten[1]. Different additive parameters were adopted to study the microstructure properties, but it was revealed that cracking is practically irresistible in AM (additive manufacturing). It might be achieved that cracking chain assembled because the cracks appeared in each laser fused path and then analogous in the surface-by-surface structure course.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
