Laser direct metal deposition (DMD) is an efficient and flexible additive manufacturing
technique which has broad application prospects, but it is also limited due to defects and …

Directed energy deposition (DED) process involves complex cyclic reheating and rapid
cooling, which probably lead to differences in microstructure and corrosion resistance from …

Martensitic stainless steels exhibit poor resistance spot weldability, with high susceptibility to
interfacial failure due to the formation of brittle martensite in the fusion zone (FZ). To alter the …

Based on the theory of similarity for describing laser hardening processes, we suggested
dimensionless parameters that simultaneously take into account both process parameters of …
