Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a highly desired layer-by-layer fabrication process capable of creating near-net-shaped three-dimensional components for a wide range of industries, such as the automotive and aerospace industries. This article focuses on aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel alloys that are commonly used or highly desired for use with AM due to their widespread applicability and favorable mechanical properties. It presents an overview of two of the major AM processes: powder-bed and powder-fed. The article discusses processability using AM. It also provides an overview of material microstructures, defects, and the impact on mechanical behaviors.
