Investigation of fully dense laser sintering of tool steel powder using a pulsed Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser

A 550W neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) pulsed laser was used in the solid freeform fabrication (SFF) process to form fully dense sintered parts. Tool steel powder was chosen due to its wide acceptance in the tool-making industry. Unlike many processes applying either thermoplastic...
