Fig. 7From: Defect Formation Mechanisms in Selective Laser Melting: A ReviewOptical images showing the microstructures on the cross-sections of SLM-processed Ti parts fabricated at different energy inputs: (a) cross-section with micro-cracks due to a higher energy input (P = 90 W, v = 100 mm/s); (b) nearly defect-free cross-section due to an appropriate energy input (P = 90 W, v = 200 mm/s) [22]Back to article page
