Abstract

The nickel-based Hastelloy X (HX) superalloy is widely applied in the aerospace industry because of its exceptional oxidation resistance and various beneficial properties at high temperatures. HX-based nanocomposites manufactured by additive-manufacturing processes based on powder-bed fusion, such a...
