| Abstract Scope |
This study quantitatively evaluates the thermal history in laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) and investigates the relationship between laser conditions (laser scanning speed, laser power), cooling rate, and solidification microstructure. It serves as the foundation for constructing a process-microstructure map aimed at microstructure control in metal additive manufacturing. In-situ temperatures during fabrication were measured using an optical fiber, and cooling curves were continuously acquired under various laser conditions. The cooling rates were calculated from the measured thermal histories. Experiments were conducted by systematically varying the laser scanning speed and laser power, and the resulting temperature histories were compared. Furthermore, the solidification microstructure of the fabricated specimens was evaluated through metallographic examination. Based on the data obtained, we examined how fabrication conditions influence the cooling process and microstructural changes in PBF-LB. |
