Effect of laser remelting on the surface characteristics of 316L stainless steel fabricated via directed energy deposition

Herein, laser remelting (LRM) technology was adopted for the stainless steel 316L deposited using the directed energy deposition (DED) process. We focused on examining the scanning direction, laser power, and overlap, which are the main parameters of LRM, and changes in the surface characteristics a...
