Abstract: A method and apparatus particularly for additively manufacturing materials that are susceptible to hot cracking. The additive manufacturing process may include a leading energy beam (16) for liquefying a raw material to form a melt pool (20), and a trailing energy beam (17) directed toward a trailing region of the melt pool. The trailing energy beam may be configured to enhance agitation and/or redistribution of liquid in the melt pool to prevent hot cracking, reduce porosity, or improve other characteristics of the solidified part. The method and apparatus also may improve processing parameters, such as adjusting vacuum level to prevent volatilization of alloying agents, or providing a chill plate to control interpass temperature. The process may be used to form new articles, and also may be used to enhance tailorability and flexibility in design or repair of pre-existing articles, among other considerations.

Abstract: An aluminum alloy precursor composition and method for fusion processing is provided which reduces hot cracking, improves compositional control, reduces porosity, and/or enhances the mechanical properties of the fusion processed article. The precursor material and fusion process using the same may be utilized for forming an article that meets compositional specifications for aluminum 6061 alloy, while minimizing defects and meeting desired strength and ductility requirements. The fusion process may include a leading energy beam for liquefying the precursor material to form a melt pool, and a trailing energy beam directed toward a trailing region of the melt pool. The trailing energy beam may be configured to enhance agitation and/or redistribution of liquid in the melt pool to prevent hot cracking, reduce porosity, or improve other characteristics of the solidified part. The method also may improve processing parameters, such as adjusting vacuum level to prevent volatilization of alloying elements.

Abstract: Microsatellite, simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have much potential for enhancing genome mapping and genotype identification research in forest genetics and tree breeding, SSR markers were developed by isolating and sequencing 1539 loblolly pine SSR clones for 11 SSR motifs. After screening out redundancy among the sequences, 566 oligonucleotide PCR primer pairs flanking the SSRs were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to amplify genomic DNA from loblolly pine. The three SSR motifs that yielded the highest proportion of informative markers from sequenced clones were (AC)n, (AAAT)n, and (AAAC)n. Eighteen polymorphic tri- and tetranucleotide SSR loci were genotyped in 20 loblolly pine trees using automated fluorescent marker analysis. The average number of alleles per locus observed was 6.4, and the average polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.547.
