Abstract
The effect of the scan strategy on the microstructure is investigated on a custom-built laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing testbed. Eight stainless steel 17-4 cubic parts were built to compare two different scan strategies: conventional and spiral. The processes were in-situ monitored by a high-speed camera coaxially aligned to the heating laser, and the parts built were characterized by micro-indentation test and optical microscopy. It is found the spiral scan strategy results in a much larger meltpool area than the conventional scan strategy, and the parts thus built exhibits an equiaxed grain structure with 54% higher hardness value.Citation
