Initial Study of Selective Laser Melting of ZrO2/Al2O3 Ceramic

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) has shown its advantage in producing metal parts with fully density, complex shape and excellent mechanical properties. However, there are many challenges ahead applying this technology to build ceramic structure. Cracking tendency is the main problem, due to high therm...
