Parameter Optimization of Laser Powder Bed Fusion for Aerospace Alloys (Paperback)

Paperback. Parameter Optimization of Laser Powder Bed Fusion for Aerospace Alloys examines the relationship between additive manufacturing parameters and the processing of advanced alloys for aerospace applications. The book focuses on Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), a powder-bed additive manufacturing technology, and considers how process parameters can influence material behavior, part quality, microstructure, density, and mechanical characteristics. It introduces fundamental concepts of laser-based manufacturing, powder materials, process parameter selection, thermal interactions, and parameter optimization. Attention is given to variables such as laser power, scanning speed, layer thickness, hatch spacing, and related processing conditions, together with their influence on manufacturing outcomes. The book also discusses analytical and optimization approaches for evaluating process parameters and improving the consistency and performance of additively manufactured components. By connecting LPBF technology with aerospace alloys and process optimization, this book provides a useful technical reference for students, researchers, aerospace engineers, materials scientists, manufacturing engineers, and professionals working in additive manufacturing, metal processing, and advanced production technologies. A technical guide to optimizing Laser Powder Bed Fusion parameters for aerospace alloys, covering additive manufacturing, materials, processing, and performance. This item is printed on demand.
