Understanding the effect of laser scan strategy on residual stress in selective laser melting through thermo-mechanical simulation

Selective laser melting (SLM) is an attractive technology, enabling the manufacture of customised, complex metallic designs, with minimal wastage. However, uptake by industry is currently impeded by several technical barriers, such as the control of residual stress, which have a detrimental effect o...
