Summary

This paper discusses the use of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and thermal post-treatment to produce lunar regolith-based glass-ceramics for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). The study investigates the microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermophysical properties of the glass-ceramics, with results showing compressive strength, fracture toughness, and Vickers hardness values of 50.71 MPa, 1.49 MPa m1/2, and 897.91 HV1/15, respectively. The paper discusses the development of lunar regolith-based materials for use in space applications, focusing on the fabrication of glass-ceramics from lunar regolith simulants. It outlines the methods used to produce these materials, including thermal post-treatment processes, and evaluates their mechanical, microstructural, and thermal properties. The study also highlights the importance of these materials in future space exploration and construction efforts.
