Peculiarities of single track formation from TI6AL4V alloy at different laser power densities by selective laser melting

This paper describes the geometrical characteristics of single tracks manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) at different laser powers (20-170 W) and scanning speeds (0.1-2.0 m/s). Simulation of temperature distribution during processing is carried out. A conclusion about the optimal process...
