Abstract

Laser beam melting (LBM) based on the complete-melting energy density for commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) was investigated. Process parameters were set corresponding to the thermodynamically calculated energy density for full melting of CP-Ti. From the calculated energy density, power of 50–250 W and scan speed of 371–1855 mm/s were derived with the fixed other conditions. Microstructural study on formation of pores was conducted to understand the change in part’s density. Fundamental study with wide range of LBM process parameters, particularly based on the complete-melting energy density, could confirm the effects like high density and porous structure.
