Operando phase mapping in multi-material laser powder bed fusion by Shieren Sumarli, Florencia Malamud, Steven Van Petegem, Steve Gaudez, Antonios Baganis, Matteo Busi, Efthymios Polatidis, Christian Leinenbach, Roland E. Logé, Markus Strobl

“…Interest in producing new multi-materials with advanced characteristics outpaces the available methods that provide insights into the bulk material formation, which in turn enables process and material optimisation. While some advanced operando studies enable highly local observations in the established metallic layers, the effect of intrinsic heat treatment inherent in the process in the bulk of the material is generally beyond reach of operando characterisation. …”
