ABSTRACT
In the laser powder bed fusion process, the melting-solidification characteristics of 316L stainless steel have a great effect on the workpiece quality. In this paper, a multi-physics model was constructed using the finite volume method (FVM) to simulate the melting-solidification process of a 316L powder bed via laser powder bed fusion. In this physical model, the phase change process, the influence of temperature gradient on surface tension of molten pool, and the influence of recoil pressure caused by the metal vapor on molten pool surface were considered. Using this model, the effects of laser scanning speed, hatch space, and laser power on temperature distribution, keyhole depth, and workpiece quality were studied. This study can be used to guide the optimization of process parameters, which is beneficial to the improvement of workpiece quality.
