| Abstract Scope |
Laser-based powder bed fusion processes like the selective laser melting (SLM) produces 3-D metal parts by selective melting of powders dictated by CAD data. Because of the high degree of freedom, it is possible to build parts with extremely complex geometries that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to produce using conventional manufacturing processes. However, until now, only conventional alloys like the AlSi10Mg, 316L, Ti6Al4V, etc. that either is developed for cast or wrought processes have been used for fabrication. Some of the alloys work well for the additive manufacturing process like the Al12Si, AlSi10Mg because they have good fluidity and are readily weldable. Nevertheless, most of the materials fabricated by SLM show superior mechanical properties than their case counterparts. Even though superior mechanical properties were recorded, there are reports showing the premature failure of the materials and the reasons will be discussed in detail. |
