Evaluation of single tracks of 17-4PH steel manufactured at different power densities and scanning speeds by selective laser melting

In Selective Laser Melting, the initial units produced are single tracks that overlap to create a single layer; from the sequence of layers, a 3D object is manufactured. The properties of the parts produced by SLM depend heavily on the properties of each single track and each layer formed by these t...
