Investigation on Porosity and Microhardness of 316L Stainless Steel Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting

This study investigates the porosity and microhardness of 316L stainless steel samples fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). The porosity content was measured using the Archimedes method and the advanced X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scan. High densification level (≥99%) with a low average...
