Process variation in Selective Laser Melting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

The present work explores the variation in Ti-6Al-4V part quality introduced by the key process operations of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process, the recoating, the gas flow, and the laser beam irradiation. Novel specimens and experiments were designed to characterize the differences in surface q...
