Laser 3D printing the AI-designed rust-proof ultra-high strength and ductility steel

Caption

A close-up of a laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) system fabricating the novel AI-designed ultra-high strength steel, which achieves a rare balance of strength and ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and requires only 6 hours of single-step heat treatment at low cost.
