Abstract
The quality of SLM formed parts is one of the key factors of the promotion and application of additive manufacturing technology. The scanning strategy fundamentally affects the fatigue life of SLM 316L stainless steel parts by regulating residual stress, defect distribution, and microstructure. Three different scanning strategies (meander scanning, stripe scanning, and chessboard scanning) were adopted to prepare the specimens. High cycle fatigue loading was applied to SLM 316L stainless steel specimens prepared by different scanning strategies. The thermal conductivity characteristics during the SLM part forming process were analyzed based on scanning electron microscopy observations of microstructure of SLM specimens, and the mechanism of residual stress and internal defect generation were revealed. The scanning direction determines the growth direction of the grains, thereby…
