Real-Time Evaluation of Residual Strain Improves 3-D Printed Metal Parts (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers used neutron scattering to measure internal strain in 3-D printed metal samples before (upper right), during, and after (lower right) annealing. Controlling residual strain in laser-printed metal parts helps prevent cracks and failures.
