1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Laser additive manufacturing offers significant advantages for fabricating and repairing complex components. However, the complex solidification and remelting processes in nickel-based superalloys for additive manufacturing can introduce defects such as voids and cracks. Therefore, process parameters are crucial, as they significantly impact solidification and remelting, thereby affecting defect formation. In this study, laser-directed energy deposition was employed to evaluate the effects of our key process parameters on the formation of voids and cracks in a novel superalloy. The findings reveal that laser power and linear energy density significantly influence the void content and crack density. However, the influence of other process parameters on defect formation is relatively minimal. The optimal parameter space is characterized by a laser power range of 600~700 W, a linear energy density range of 60~90 J/mm and a powder feeding rate of 0.7~0.8 rpm. Moreover, the precipitation of fine MC-type carbides near the dendrites and grain-boundary misorientations within the range of 31~42° are associated with a higher propensity for crack formation. These insights provide a valuable reference for controlling the process parameters and understanding the cracking mechanisms in laser additive manufacturing of superalloys.
