| Abstract Scope |
Achieving high relative density (RD) is critical for new alloy systems fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). However, the conventional design of experiments (DOE) becomes inefficient due to the large number of interacting process parameters. This study presents a data-driven machine learning (ML) framework to confine the optimization search space to the most influential parameters. A dataset compiled from literature over the past decade, covering 11 alloy systems, was divided into 80:20 training and testing sets. Multiple ML models were evaluated to capture nonlinear process–property relationships. The hybrid gradient boosting–particle swarm optimization (GB-PSO) model demonstrated superior performance, achieving MAE/R² values of 0.20/0.99 (training) and 0.73/0.95 (testing). SHAP analysis provided insight into global and local parameter significance. The reduced experimental design derived from the ML framework was validated through in-house fabrication of Inconel 718, confirming its effectiveness in achieving high RD. |
