Microstructure of Built Part Obtained by Powder Bed Fusion Process with Metal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of various process parameters on the building of maraging steel powder by the selective laser melting (SLM) processes is investigated. The microstructure in the built part was observed and the influence of the heat treatment was evaluated. As results, the depth of solidified layer was higher than that of deposited metal powder, and its value was influenced with the process parameters. The microstructure in the boundary between the built part and the substrate was quite different from the built part even if the suitable heat treatment was performed.
