Mg-Cu-Y LENS beads

This dataset describes the processing conditions for Mg-Cu-Y beads additively manufactured using the LENS MR-7 system. This includes the mass flowrate for each elemental powder, the power and pulse duration for the initial deposition and remelting steps as well as the optical reflectivity and compositional data gathered for these beads. Mg-Cu-Y is a known glass-forming system, and optical reflectivity is correlated with the presence of amorphous material, which is generally evident with the printed beads.
