Investigation of Spatter Trajectories in an SLM Build Chamber under Argon Gas Flow

Spatter particles ejected from the melt pool during selective laser melting processes can get redeposited on the build plate region and impact final part quality. Although an inert gas flow is used to purge the spattered particles away from the build plate region, some of the spatter particles get r...
