| Abstract Scope |
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing technique that continues to expand into various industries. As the development of new machines from a wide array of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) increases, so does the variability in the quality of parts produced. Equivalency in AM is an important topic which addresses this variability. Significant efforts have been made by OEMs to produce parts with consistent properties however, this becomes challenging when trying to fabricate similar parts on systems designed by different OEMs. This is particularly important for “point-of-need” applications where there is a low tolerance for unexpected variations in properties. This study therefore aims to assess cross-equivalency between two laser powder bed fusion systems from different OEMs in terms of micro/-defect-structure and surface quality. The results showed significant differences in porosity and surface quality however, microstructure was not significantly affected. |
