Developing a fundamental understanding of how external fields are applied and influence additive manufacturing processes is crucial for in-situ microstructural control. Here, high-speed synchrotron X-ray imaging and computational fluid dynamic simulations reveal the effect of ultrasonic vibration on laser-generated melt pool dynamics and solidification of an aluminum alloy.
