Abstract
In Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) Finite Element Analysis (FEA), input of accurate material and simulation parameters is critical for accurate predictions. It is challenging and expensive to measure and control all possible material properties and process parameters. In this research, we developed a 3D thermal L-PBF FEA model for a single track laser scan on one layer of metal powder above a solid metal substrate. We applied a design of experiments approach which varied simulation parameters to identify critical variables in L-PBF. Design of experiments provides an exploratory tool for examining a large number of factors and alternative modeling approaches, and the determination of which of the approaches can best predict AM process performance.Conference Dates
