On the Impact of Build Envelope Sizes on E-PBF Processed Pure Iron

Abstract In additive manufacturing, the thermal history of a part determines its final microstructural and mechanical properties. The factors leading to specific temperature profile are diverse. For integrity parameter setting established, periphery variations must also be considered. present study, iron was processed by electron beam powder bed fusion. Parts realized two process runs featuring different build plate sizes were analyzed. It is shown that differs significantly, eventually affecting properties parts.
