Introduction

Structural design, rapid and integrated manufacturing, and highperformance materials are required for the continuous development of key components in the aerospace, energy, and automobile industries to optimize the internal stress distribution in service, reduce weight, and enhance product performance and service life [1]. Added substance fabricating (AM), which includes a novel layer-by-layer producing process, is an arising and promising methodology for fulfilling the necessities above. This is on the grounds that AM lessens item advancement time, empowers the manufacture of parts with complex designs, improves unrefined substance use effectiveness, and decreases energy utilization. As per Reportlinker.com, the worldwide metal AM market size is supposed to arrive at a billion expanding at a Build Yearly Development Pace of 19.5% during the gauge time frame, which suggests that AM will mean a lot to the assembling business later on.

Laser added substance fabricating (LAM), in which laser is utilized as the energy input, is a notable AM method applied in scholarly world and industry [2]. As indicated by the order and definition laid out by the Worldwide Association of Normalization (ISO)/American Culture for Testing and Materials, LAM includes two average cycles, in particular laser powder bed combination and laser-coordinated energy affidavit (LDED). The LPBF cycle normally includes a dissolve pool estimating handfuls to many microns joined with a layer thickness not surpassing 100 μm; subsequently, it is helpful for the arrangement of accuracy parts with very perplexing designs, for example, those requiring geography improvement or highlighting cross section structures. In contrast, the LDED process, which makes use of powders and/or wires as feedstock materials, has a larger melt pool that can be several centimeters in size and a layer thickness that is greater than that. This makes it suitable for making large components as well as for repairing and remanufacturing. Presently, the elements of huge scope metallic parts manufactured by means of LDED have surpassed.

To additionally grow the utilizations of AM innovation, there have been two improvement patterns lately. One is producing more modest sizes, more mind boggling shapes and higher accuracy parts, for example, miniature LPBF. The other is the inverse, that is to say, enormous scope, basic molded, lower-accuracy primary parts. A technical report on AM of large-scale metal components adopted primarily by aerospace (where improvements in the buy-to-fly ratio were reported) industries was published in 2 by the Department of Energy. It emphasized the necessity of expanding AM to large-scale, high-deposition-rate manufacturing [3]. However, the current conventional laser-directed energy deposition technology (C-DED) does not have a high enough deposition rate to meet the rapid manufacturing requirements of largescale metal structural components. For instance, it takes approximately 700 days to manufacture a 1 m3 part using C-DED technology, which is not only extremely time-consuming but also necessitates extremely stable equipment. Accordingly, high-testimony rate laser-coordinated energy affidavit (HDR-DED) innovation must be arisen to improve efficiency. For instance, the Fraunhofer Organization for Creation Innovation has fostered a wire-based laser-guided energy statement innovation to work on material usage and subsequently the testimony rate. A high deposition rate is also provided by the Precitec Company's CoaxPrinter metal deposition head.

The relationship between metallic materials and energy thickness proportionality is a topic of significant interest and importance in the field of materials science and engineering. The concept of energy thickness proportionality relates to the behavior of metallic materials when subjected to mechanical deformation or energy absorption. In simple terms, energy thickness proportionality refers to the relationship between the amount of energy absorbed by a material and the corresponding thickness of the material required to dissipate or absorb that energy [4]. This relationship is particularly relevant in applications where materials need to withstand impact, shock, or high-energy events. Microstructural analysis and property-structure relationships help establish correlations between microstructural features, material properties, and energy thickness proportionality. This knowledge aids in designing and engineering metallic materials with enhanced energy absorption capacities.

The outcomes of studying metallic materials in light of energy thickness proportionality have significant implications in various industries. Structural engineering, automotive, and aerospace sectors can benefit from the development of metallic materials with tailored energy absorption characteristics. These materials can enhance crashworthiness, impact resistance, and overall safety in different applications.

Understanding the energy thickness proportionality of metallic materials is crucial for designing and selecting materials that can effectively absorb or dissipate energy while maintaining their structural integrity [5]. Such materials find applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, defense, and structural engineering. In this discussion, we will explore the concept of energy thickness proportionality and its significance in relation to metallic materials. We will delve into the factors that influence this proportionality and how it impacts material performance. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of studying and optimizing metallic materials to achieve desired energy absorption capabilities. By understanding the principles of energy thickness proportionality and its implications for metallic materials, researchers and engineers can make informed decisions in material selection, design, and optimization for energy absorption applications. This knowledge contributes to the development of improved and more efficient materials capable of withstanding highenergy events while ensuring the safety and reliability of various systems and structures.

Impact testing

Charpy Impact test this test measures the energy absorbed by a metallic specimen when struck by a pendulum hammer. The energy absorbed is proportional to the material's ability to deform and resist fracture. Drop weight test in this test, a weight is dropped onto a metallic sample, and the energy absorbed is measured. It provides insights into the material's behavior under impact loading. Compression Quasistatic compression test this test involves applying a compressive load to a metallic specimen at a slow or controlled rate [6 ]. The energy absorbed during deformation provides information about the material's compressive strength and energy absorption capacity. Finite FEA is a numerical simulation technique used to analyze the behavior of metallic materials under different loading conditions. It can model the deformation and energy absorption characteristics of the materials based on their mechanical properties and geometry.
