Abstract
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) process, capable to manufacture parts by melting the material’s powder locally layer-by-layer. This technology allows the production of very complex geometries with properties comparable to components obtained by traditional manufacturing processes. Selective Laser Melting (SLM), and the other LPBF processes, found their application in a large range of utilization, from the aerospace field to the agricultural one. Over the past decades, several studies have been needed to improve and optimize the process and the quality of the built parts as well. Among the several advantages, low productivity is the factor that limits large-scale usage since low productivity leads to high production time and, consequently, high production costs.
This study explores the correlation between process parameters involved in SLM technology and the productivity of 17-4PH stainless steel, a precipitation-hardened steel that found application in different fields
