Effects of powder compression and laser re-melting on the microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts in laser-powder bed fusion

Achieving good surface profile and low levels of porosity are prime challenges in the Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing technique. In order to optimise these properties, post-processing is often required. However, the compression of powder spread on the build plate and re-meltin...
