TLDR
In this paper, a comparative characterisation of selective laser sintering (SLS) mechanisms of single and two-component powders is presented, where the effects of the volume fraction of liquid phase and powder absorptance were discussed.
Abstract
A comparative characterisation of selective laser sintering (SLS) mechanisms of single‐ and two‐component powders is presented The effects of the volume fraction of liquid phase and the powder absorptance were discussed Single‐component Ni‐alloy, Fe and Cu powders as well as two‐component powder systems based on Ni‐alloy, Fe and Cu were investigated In particular, the following types of two‐component powder systems were studied: Ni‐alloy‐Cu and Fe‐Cu powder mixtures as well as Cu‐coated Ni‐alloy powder and Cu‐coated Fe powders SLS experiments were performed with a CW‐ Nd:YAG laser (λ=106 μm) The acting mechanism in all cases was liquid phase sintering
