Abstract

DMLS processed steel parts display mechanical properties that are comparable to their wrought counterparts. However, inadequate powder coverage has been observed during the use of -4μm + 10 μm powder while making parts with large cross sectional areas at nominal powder feed quantity. This can lead to density variations and inferior mechanical properties. Commercially available 4340 steel powders with different particle size distributions are investigated in this study. The influence of starting powder with structure and properties are discussed.
