Residual Heat Effect on the Melt Pool Geometry during the Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process
The continuous back-and-forth melting of the powder bed during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process leads to the development of residual heat, which affects the melt pool geometry as the laser scan progresses. The magnitude of the residual heat depends on the scan length, hatch spacing, locati...
