Influence of Carbon Nanoparticle Addition (and Impurities) on Selective Laser Melting of Pure Copper

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticle Addition (and Impurities) on Selective Laser Melting of Pure Copper

The addition of 0.1 wt % carbon nanoparticles significantly improved the optical absorption and flowability of gas-atomized copper powder. This facilitated selective laser melting (SLM) by reducing the required laser energy density to obtain 98% dense parts. Moreover, the carbon addition led to an i...
