Abstract Scope |
Selective Laser Flash Sintering (SLFS) is an innovation in ceramic additive manufacturing. SLFS combines selective laser heating with simultaneous application of an electric field. The electric current that flows through the laser-heated ceramic powder bed during SLFS greatly enhances the sintering rate and lowers sintering onset temperature, making SLFS a promising path to polymer-free direct laser-sintering of ceramic powder. This work evaluates the effects of various SLFS processing conditions, such as laser scanning variables, applied energy density, and electric field. |
