AM process & materials used |
Laser powder bed fusion (In718) |
Laser powder bed fusion AM has a unique thermal cycle that involves a steep thermal gradient up to the materials’ melting point, rapid solidification, and then re-melting on subsequent layers. This causes residual stress to build up in the part which is a significant issue given its effect on distortion, reduced performance and premature failure of the part. This CRP project:
