Introductory Chapter: Genome of Material for Combinatorial Design and Prototyping of Alloys

Materials present an integral part of the additive technology (AT). The key task in creation and processing of new materials for the AT is to expand the range of such materials (including through mixing/alloying/modeling of composites), to improve their quality, to increase the additive process stability, reproducibility and reliability, including by using multimaterial powdered systems, while maintaining a low cost of materials, the process of their manufacturing and preand/or post-processing.
