Process Optimization and Microstructure Analysis to Understand Laser Powder Bed Fusion of 316L Stainless Steel
The microstructural development of 316L stainless steel (SS) was investigated over a wide range of systematically varied laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) parameters, such as laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing and volumetric energy density. Relative density, melt pool width and depth, and the size...
