an overview of progression and recent trends in additively manufactured alsi10mg alloy through scientometrics

This review presents a scientometric analysis of statistical research publications in the field of additively manufactured alsi10mg alloy and provides an extensive stance on research transition for the interested researchers in this field. many researchers attempted to write review articles with manual work that ended with inadequate expertise to link common areas of the literature in a systematic and sequential manner. at present, most of the researchers’ challenges include gathering bibliometric sources with mapping, keyword collections, the  author’s network, and year-wise progression in research areas. in this review, the scopus engine was used to locate, gather required information, and statistics for consideration. the keywords alsi10mg and additive manufacturing were used in the scopus search engine while collecting the relevant literature archives for the last ten years from 2014 to 2023. the vosviewer software tool was used to visualize and create the bibliometric links from 1260 related documents, which contained abstracts, bibliographic citations, and other keywords. the review also summarized the various additive manufacturing processes of alsi10mg alloys.  this review revealed that the journal of &additive manufacturing& has the highest publication record in the research on additively manufactured alsi10mg alloys, with gu dongdong being the most productive researcher with 23 articles and 2131 citations. china, italy, and germany have the highest publication records. laser bed fusion is the most preferred additive manufacturing process for producing alsi10mg to achieve the desired properties and the facility to apply numerous processing parameters.
