| Summary: | Spattering is an unpreventable and largely undesired phenomenon in selective laser
melting (SLM). The ejected particles from the melt pool would often deposit on the powder bed
when not effectively removed by the shielding inert gas flow, leading to contamination and
subsequently parts to be printed with lower quality. In this paper, the formation, effects and
countermeasures with regards to spattering in SLM are reviewed. |
