Full-Field Mapping and Flow Quantification of Melt Pool Dynamics in Laser Powder Bed Fusion of SS316L
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has a wide range of uses in high-tech industries, including the aerospace and biomedical fields. For LPBF, the flow of molten metal is crucial; until now, however, the flow in the melt pool has not been described thoroughly in 3D. Here, we provide full-field mapping an...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has a wide range of uses in high-tech industries, including the aerospace and biomedical fields.

Here, we provide full-field mapping and flow measurement of melt pool dynamics in laser powder bed fusion, through a high-fidelity numerical model using the finite volume method. The influence of Marangoni flow, evaporation, as well as recoil pressure have been included in the model. Single-track experiments were conducted for validation.
