Machine-learning-assisted microstructure–property linkages of carbon nanotube-reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites produced by laser powder bed fusion

In this study, the cellular microstructural features in a subgrain size of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced aluminum matrix nanocomposites produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) (a size range between 0.5–1 μm) were quantitatively extracted and calculated from scanning electron microscopy images...
