| Abstract Scope |
Mg-based materials are known for their low density as well as high biocompatibility, which makes them suitable for lightweight structural and biomedical applications. Additive manufacturing technique is one of free-form fabrication technique and enable to any complex structure in a track-by-track and then layer-by-layer manner. This study explores the use of selective laser melting (SLM) to additively manufacture the magnesium component and investigates the densification behavior, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of pure Mg processed by SLM under various processing parameters. The challenges associated with the SLM-processability of Mg were addressed. Based on the experimental results, Layerwise Additive Manufacturing Predictions and Simulations (L.A.M.P.S.) Tool was applied to numerically reveal the inherent relationship among part quality, material properties and processing parameters. Through the numerical analysis, the simulation results help designer to tailor the processing parameters and reduce the experimental deposition. |
