Optimizing 316L Stainless Steel with Scan Strategies in PBF-EB Manufacturing

Post Views: 269 316 Stainless Steel PBF-EB Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have studied how different scanning strategies affect the structure-property relationship of 316L stainless steel processed using Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) Additive Manufacturing. Their findings, published in Materials & Design, show how scanning patterns influence both material properties and microstructure.   Impact of Scan Strategies on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties The team tested eight scanning strategies and discovered that the localized microstructure is mainly i...
