Correlation between process parameters, microstructure and properties of 316 L stainless steel processed by selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this paper, high-density 316 L specimens were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) and different processing parameters, including laser power (100, 200 W) and scanning strategies (alternating stripes without and with remelting after every layer) were employed to evaluate their impact on microstructure and texture of the specimens.
