Permeability Study of Austenitic Stainless Steel Surfaces Produced by Selective Laser Melting (open access)

Permeability Study of Austenitic Stainless Steel Surfaces Produced by Selective Laser Melting

In this article, permeability properties and surface roughness of stainless steel (SS316L) surfaces were evaluated through experimentation with three different laser scanning patterns (chessboard, meander, and stripe), and different sloping angles between the fabricated surface and the laser beam incident on the process. Results showed that for each scanning pattern, the roughness decreased as the sloping angle increased consistently in all experimental trials.
