Finite Element Analysis of Interaction of Laser Beam with Material in Laser Metal Powder Bed Fusion Process

A deep understanding of the laser-material interaction mechanism, characterized by laser absorption, is very important in simulating the laser metal powder bed fusion (PBF) process. This is because the laser absorption of material affects the temperature distribution, which influences the thermal st...
