Porosity Analysis of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718

Abstract

This study thoroughly examines porosity formation in AM-produced Inconel 718 components, aiming to understand its factors and impact on material properties. Using advanced microstructural techniques like SEM, identifying correlations between porosity and processing parameters like laser power and scanning speed. The research emphasizes the crucial role of process variables in porosity formation, offering insights for optimizing AM processes to reduce porosity and improve part quality.
