Laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of molybdenum using a nitrogen build atmosphere
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A method was developed to suppress the crack formation during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of molybdenum (Mo). The method uses a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere to fabricate crack-free samples without any additional processing. To compare with the effect of the N2 atmosphere, samples were prepared under an argon (Ar) atmosphere as well with the same process parameters. The microstructure analyses by optical and high-resolution electron microscopy revealed that crack-free samples were produced under this condition, whereas grain boundary cracks were observed throughout the sample fabricated in Ar atmosphere. To understand the mechanism of crack prevention by nitrogen (N), the energetics of solute components in the BCC-Mo structure were studied by Density Functional Theory (DFT). The theoretical calculations showed that the introduction of N into the BCC-Mo hinders oxygen (O) diffusion, causing O entrapment in the lattice at interstitial positions. As a result, reduced oxides within grains and at grain boundaries (GB) were observed. The results are consistent with the experimental observation made from the fracture surface investigation. The reduced embrittlement of GB from the reduced GB oxide formation is believed to suppress GB cracking.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
