Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Glass has unique physical characteristics, such as transparency, chemical durability, thermal stability, and electric resistivity, making it an attractive material for numerous industries. As a result, there is a growing interest in the additive manufacturing of glass powder. However, most of the selective laser melting (SLM) processes primarily rely on the utilization of spherical glass powder, and there are no reports of the use of non-spherical glass powders. This paper explores the benefits and possibilities of irregular shaped powder used in SLM of glass. Through a progression of experiments from single-track to single-layer and, ultimately, cube fabrication, the relative density of cube samples was as high as 95%. Feasibility examples were successfully demonstrated, indicating that the irregularly-shaped soda-lime silica glass powder can be successfully used in the SLM process and that process parameter changes can be optimized to yield builds with comparable porosity levels to builds using typical spherical powder.
