Comparison of Different Additive Manufacturing Methods for 316L Stainless Steel

In additive manufacturing (AM), the technology and processing parameters are key elements that determine the characteristics of samples for a given material. To distinguish the effects of these variables, we used the same AISI 316L stainless steel powder with different AM techniques. The techniques...

description In additive manufacturing (AM), the technology and processing parameters are key elements that determine the characteristics of samples for a given material.
