INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SCAN VECTOR LENGTH ON RESIDUAL STRESSES IN SELECTIVE LASER MELTING OF MARAGING STEEL 300

Selective laser melting scanning strategies influence the quality characteristics of parts, such as form accuracy and residual stresses. Previous research on the effect of laser scanning strategy parameters (such as scan vector length) demonstrates that residual stresses decrease with scan vector le...
