Selective Laser Melting Process Simulation of a Nickel-Based Superalloy Gas Turbine Component – Year Two

Selective laser meting (SLM) is a promising additive manufacturing process that can be effectively utilized to manufacture structural components with complex geometries. Instead of removing the material, SLM adds the material selectively layer after layer using high power laser beam to form near net shape parts. Due to high cost associated with experimental development of […]
