Abstract

To ensure reliability of the structural components in quasistatic and cyclic applications, it is important to understand the part parameters as a function of process parameters and post-processing steps. Understanding of process-structure-property relationships is important for part- and application-oriented processing of SLM parts. Every process parameter and step in the process chain until the end-use effects the part properties and, therefore, functional integrity. This chapter explains the process chain followed for manufacturing of test specimens including process parameters and post-processing steps.

Figures used in this chapter are partly published in [51,129,148–155].
