TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the processing parameters such as scanning speed and laser power on single tracks formation are explored, and a considerable negative correlation is found between the thermal conductivity of bulk material and the range of optimal scanning speed for the continuous single track sintering.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the energy input parameters (80-900°C preheating temperature and 0.08-0.28m/s laser scanning speed) on microstructure and geometry of single tracks fabricated of stainless steel grade 316L powder was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the processing parameters such as laser power, scanning speed and powder layer thickness on the single tracks formation are analyzed and it is shown that by choosing an optimal technological window and appropriate strategy of SLM, it is possible to manufacture highly complex parts with mechanical properties comparable to those of wrought material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature distribution in the laser/powder interaction zone and the shape of the melt pool are numerically calculated by a model of coupled radiation and heat transfer applicable to single vectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Greco-Latin square design was used to control geometrical characteristics of the tracks of a single laser-melted track, and an ANOVA analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to establish a statistically significant influence of the SLM process parameters on geometry of the track.
