From: A Prediction Model of Effective Thermal Conductivity for Metal Powder Bed in Additive Manufacturing
Comparison of ETCp results of equal particle size but different particle size distribution powder: a Model of unequal size powder; b Model of equal size powder; c Discoid display of contact surface of two kinds of stacking structures; d Columnar display of contact surface of two kinds of stacked structures; e The change of packing density of equal and unequal size packing structure, and the trend of ETCp when TCs changes; f The relative change of ETCp in a-stacking structure and b-stacking structure when the materials changes respectively
