Stability of a Melt Pool during 3D-Printing of an Unsupported Steel Component and Its Influence on Roughness

The following work presents the results of an investigation of the cause−effect relationship between the stability of a melt pool and the roughness of an inclined, unsupported steel surface that was 3D-printed using the laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L/M) process. In order to observe the bal...
