Nowadays, advanced metal components with high geometrical complexity can be 3D printed by using the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. Despite SLM resolution and accuracy are generally limited to some tenths of mm, it should be possible to produce finer and more precise details by applying lasers with a small spot diameter.

Abstract

Nowadays, advanced metal components with high geometrical complexity can be 3D printed by using the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. Despite SLM resolution and accuracy are generally limited to some tenths of mm, it should be possible to produce finer and more precise details by applying lasers with a small spot diameter. However, to present date the data collected with small laser spot diameters are poor. In this work, experimental data describing the effects of laser power and scan speed on single track formation when applying a small laser spot diameter of 50 µm on Ti6Al4V powder are reported. SEM images and the extracted geometrical data characterizing the obtained single tracks are provided here, as well as their microstructural analysis and microhardness measurements.
