Abstract

Laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the main additive manufacturing (AM) methods, which has been proven to produce complex metallic parts with fine features. Understanding the correlation of process parameters to the microstructure and mechanical properties of the printed parts are one of the biggest challenges in the AM community. In this thesis, the manufacturability, performance and durability of LPBF Hastelloy X (HX) parts are investigated under quasi-static and cyclic loading.

How Our Software Was Used
