Publisher Copyright: © 2025 The Authors; This study provides a comprehensive thermomechanical simulation framework and mapping for the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) process, with a primary focus on melt pool characterization. It also correlates the cooling behavior to the dendrite growth and some induced imperfections, such as crack evolution that stem from segregation at the grain boundaries. Utilizing the Allen-Cah...

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; Microalgae are a promising feedstock with proven biostimulant activity that is enhanced by their biochemical components (e.g., amino acids and phytohormones), which turns them into an appealing feedstock to reduce t...
PTDC/EME/31307/2017; Additive manufacturing (AM) has become a viable option for producing structural parts with a high degree of geometrical complexity. Despite such trend, accurate material properties, under diversified testing conditions, are scarce or practically non-existent for the most recent additively manufactured (AMed) materials. Such data gap may compromise component performance design, through numer...
