| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) provides a great potential for the serial production in medical technology. In addition to the design freedom, function integration and weight optimization, the processability of biocompatible materials such as SS316L is particularly crucial. The good corrosion resistance and sufficiently high material characteristics serve as a basis for the optimization of further properties through the targeted variance of process parameters.
For the application of additive manufacturing of 316L stainless steel by LPBF for medical instruments, the influences of the process parameters on the microstructure and the relevant component properties of surface roughness and density are investigated. By means of statistical evaluations, laser focus, filling contours and remelting are considered in addition to the most influential parameters of laser power and scanning speed. Finally, a set of process parameters is defined, which serves as a basis to produce a medical product. |
