Effect of helium as process gas on laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V studied with operando diffraction and radiography

The utilisation of helium as process gas in laser powder bed fusion limits the generation of Ti-6Al-4V hot and incandescent spatters and enhances their cooling rate. In the present study, operando X-ray diffraction using synchrotron X-rays permits to verify that the cooling rates experienced by the...
