Metal vapor micro-jet controls material redistribution in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing

Abstract The results of detailed experiments and finite element modeling of metal micro-droplet motion associated with metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes are presented. Ultra high speed imaging of melt pool dynamics reveals that the dominant mechanism leading to micro-droplet ejection in a...
