Demonstrating In Situ Formation of Globular Microstructure for Thixotropic Printing of EN AW-4043 Aluminum Alloy

This study explores the feasibility of generating a globular microstructure in situ during the thixotropic 3D printing of the EN AW-4043 alloy, starting from a conventional cold-rolled wire. Thermodynamic simulations using Thermo-Calc software were first conducted to identify the semi-solid processi...
