Tuning molten pool dynamics and keyhole formation during laser powder bed fusion through laser beam shaping
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study on tuning molten pool dynamics and keyhole formation during laser powder bed fusion.
- The approach uses laser beam shaping as the control method.
- The source provided has no summary, so specific findings are not confirmed here.
Why it matters
Molten pool dynamics and keyhole formation affect melt stability and defect formation in laser powder bed fusion, so control methods for them are relevant to materials scientists working on metal additive manufacturing.
