Scope: Additive manufacturing has emerged as an important technology driving innovation in the efficient manufacture of complex, near-final components due to the allowed design freedom. The intrinsic nature of additive manufacturing introduces compositional and microstructural optimization challenges that are exclusive to it, owing to non-equilibrium process conditions and high residual stresses. The complex thermodynamics and phase-transformations in steels make these challenges further nuanced. This special topic aims to publish original, state-of-art research, review, and viewpoint papers related to all aspects of microstructural and process optimization strategies through computationally or experimentally based design for all classes of additively manufactured steels.
