| Abstract Scope |
Laser based powder bed fusion processes like the selective laser melting (SLM) is one of the additive manufacturing processes used to produce 3-D metal parts by selective melting of powders dictated by CAD data. Because of the high degree of freedom given by processing through additive manufacturing, 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 are developed for cast or wrought processes have been used for fabrication. The present abstract deals with the processing of TiC-Fe-based cermets. Since these cermets are brittle and normally lead to the formation of cracks during the fabrication process, different processing strategies were adopted to fabricate crack-free samples. The different strategies adopted to fabricate such crack-free samples will be discussed in detail. |
