In-situ microstructural evolution study of additively manufactured Zr-based bulk metallic glasses using advanced laser beam shaping technolo

It is planned to perform in-situ during x-ray diffraction during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of metallic glasses (Zr-based) using a mini LPBF device with new laser optical system that allows to better control the energy input in order to achieve highly optimized conditions to better control the reheating of the material. As metallic glasses are very sensitive to the reheating conditions they are a perfect probe material to test this new technology and new understanding regarding the structure formation are expected.
