Pores are always considered as a kind of defect during manufacturing metal parts via many conventional processes. But porous metals have outstanding physical and mechanical properties which providing them double natures of function and structure, and are applied in many fields of science and technology. Selective laser melting (SLM), developed within current years, has the advantages of producing metal parts with complex structures, and can be used to manufacture complex structures of any kind theoretically. A new method of making porous complicated metal structures via SLM is put forward. Then, the meaning of this method, research advance and future work discussion are presented in this paper, which lays a method foundation for future study and build a new field for both porous metal parts and SLM technology.

Refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have excellent mechanical properties, which could make them the substitutes of some superalloys. However, the high melting point of refractory HEAs leads to processing problems when using traditional processing techniques. In this study, a single BCC solid solution of NbMoTaW alloy was formed by selective laser melting (SLM) with a linear energy density of up to 2.83 J/mm. The composition distribution was analyzed, and the element with a lower melting point and lower density showed a negative deviation (no more than 5%) of the molar ratio in the formed alloy. The HEA shows an excellent microstructure, microhardness, and corrosion resistance performance compared with traditional superalloys, making it a new substitute metal with great application prospects in aerospace and energy fields.

Introduction/Objective. The objective of this paper is to describe the microstructure and mechanical properties of sintered Co-Cr alloy and to emphasize its advantages and disadvantages with respect to the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Co-Cr alloy. Methods. Base Co-Cr alloy, EOSint M EOS Co-Cr SP2 (EOS GmbH, Munch, Germany), was used for the purpose of this research as the base material for sintering metal structures of metal-ceramic restorations. Metal sintering was conducted by using EOSint M 280 device of German origin in a stream of neutral gas ? argon. After that, the alloy was heated over a period of 20 minutes at the temperature of 800?C. The chemical composition of the alloy was determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy. Microstructure of the tested alloy samples was examined under an optical metallographic and scanning electron microscope. Physical and mechanical properties were measured in a universal testing machine. The samples were prepared according to the standard ISO 527-1:1993. Results. Chemical composition of the sintered Co-Cr alloy, determined by applying energy dispersive spectroscopy, indicated the same qualitative but different quantitative composition compared to cast Co-Cr alloys. The microstructure of the sintered Co-Cr alloy is lamellar in nature, with two dominant phases: ?-Co and/or ?-Cr (fcc ? face-centered cubic) and ?-Co (hcp ? hexagonal close-packed). Mechanical properties of the Co-Cr alloy obtained by applying selective laser melting technology compared to the cast Co-Cr alloy are superior or approximately the same. Conclusion. Selective laser melting of the Co-Cr alloy is a good example of new technologies based on digitization. Together with other digitized procedures, this technology is an introduction to a new era in dentistry popularly called Dentistry 4.0. The advantages of the selective laser melting technology with respect to the conventional technology of casting Co-Cr alloy metal structures are precise metal structure fitting and eco-friendly technology.
