An Analytical Method for Predicting Residual Stress Distribution in Selective Laser Melted/Sintered Alloys

An Analytical Method for Predicting Residual Stress Distribution in Selective Laser Melted/Sintered Alloys D. Boruah, X. Zhang, M. Doré Abstract. Residual stresses that build up during selective laser melting or sintering (SLM/SLS) process can influence the dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties and in-service performance of SLM/SLS parts. Therefore, it is crucial to understand, predict and effectively […]
