Studies on Absorptivity and Marangoni Flow during Laser Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Selective laser sintering (SLS) / melting (SLM) is a manufacturing technique which holds a very special place in the layer manufacturing process due to its widest range of material processing capability which no other technique can offer. It can process metals, rubber, composites, polymers and ceramics etc. As laser sintering technique is emerging as an advanced manufacturing technique, it is importance to study the phenomenon which affect the fabrication process, hence a study is undertaken to simulate the physical phenomenon such as laser absorption and Marangoni effect. By studying these phenomena, a much better control of the physical processes is possible during the laser sintering process of commercially pure titanium grade 2.
