Abstract:Many current metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems employ powder bed fusion processes. Thin layers of powder are applied to a substrate, and an energy source such as a laser is used to fuse the powder into specific geometries, building a part layer-by-layer [1]. In this investigation, single laser-melted weld tracks of Inconel 625 are analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to determine the heat effect of and grain morphology produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBG). Previous research without… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
