Extending powder lifetime in additive manufacturing: Chemical etching of stainless steel spatter

In laser powder bed fusion, unconsolidated metal powder on the build plate tends to comprise a proportion of oxidised powder after repeated use. This is generally caused by the generation of oxidised spatter particles during processing which can contaminate the powder bed, and be incorporated into f...
