| Abstract Scope |
Keyhole porosity is a major concern in laser powder-bed fusion, degrading the fatigue life of fabricated components. However, the keyhole fluctuation and porosity formation mechanism have not been fully understood. We have used synchrotron X-ray imaging to reveal keyhole fluctuation and collapse behaviours, unveiled their underlying mechanisms using quantitative image analysis. It was found that (i) the onset of keyhole porosity starts from a transition keyhole regime, created by high laser power-velocity conditions, showing the fastest radial fluctuations with frequency ~10 kHz; (ii) unlike the keyhole bottom collapse in the unstable keyhole regime, keyholes tend to collapse at rear-wall zone in the transition regime; (iii) The keyhole regimes are found to be well defined by the keyhole front-wall angle, which collapses to a single function of the scaling enthalpy.These findings provide vital guidance for pore suppression via real-time control of keyhole dynamics in LPBF and other high-beam-energy processing techniques. |
