Tech News 1: Material combination with 2000 C melting temperature difference printed via multi-material laser powder bed

[bob_turner]

Scientists from the University of Manchester have developed a novel multi-material LPBF method to build tungsten (W) and stainless steel (SS) together and used the modeling method to reveal the bonding mechanism. So far, there have been no previous studies reported on successfully fabricating the 3D printed SS→W→SS multiple material structures and how the physical property differences affect the W and SS interfacial bonding in the laser printing process.
