Experimental Study on Pore-Defect by Selective Laser Melting of 316L Stainless Steel

Abstract:

With different process parameters (laser power, scanning speed and scanning distance),the low-time defects of forming part were studied by microscope,including air bubble, pore, micro-crack and macro-crack. The formation mechanism of pore-defect was analyzed. The micro-structure and composition of the pore-defect were studied by means of SEM and EDS. The results showed that the porosity mainly included circular air porosity, irregular process porosity and oxide inclusion.Linear energy density (E=P/v) was introduced as synthetic parameter.According to analysis and test verification, the optimum technological parameters of 316L stainless steel were laser power 190-210KW, laser speed 800-1000mm/s and scanning interval 0.9-0.11mm,and the linear energy density was about 200J/m. There were no cracks, no bubbles, a small amount of porosity, and the product density reached 99.7%.
