In-process sensing in selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing (2016, background): “One consequence of this free space is that the powder bed exhibits different thermal transport properties from the material of which it is composed [26, 27].”
Investigations on residual stresses and deformations in selective laser melting (2010, methodology): “For the cooling cycle of the sample, radiation as well as convection (40 W/m(2) K) is applied at the top of the solidified layer [29, 32].”
An overview of powder granulometry on feedstock and part performance in the selective laser melting process (2017, background): “[145] where mono-sized spheres with the densest packing configuration (FCC) and highest coordination number (N = 12), obtained the highest thermal conductivity as compared to other crystal structures (BCC, SC and Diamond).”
Measurement Science Needs for Real-time Control of Additive Manufacturing Powder Bed Fusion Processes (2015, background): “High relative densities increase the relative thermal conductivity of the powder bed [36], [37] (which is further discussed in Section 3.”
