Influence of the Powder Particle Size on the Denudated Zone Width at Selective Laser Melting

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mass transfer in the laser-interaction zone at selective laser melting influences the quality of the obtained material. Powder particles displacement during the formation of the single bead is experimentally studied. The so-called denudated zone was visualized by metallography. It was determined that increasing the powder particle size leads to widening the denudated zone. This can signify that the adhesion forces between powder particles prevail over the friction forces.
