Abstract:

A systematical investigation of energy generation responsible for heating and melting during selective laser melting or selective laser sintering in additive manufacturing with a pulsed laser is studied. A surface Plasmon on a rough or grating metal surface can be excited by an incident laser beam in a TM mode. The surface plasma wave is an electromagnetic wave that propagates at the boundary between two media, leading to a concentrated and distributed energy generation on the surface. In this study, energy generated is composed of resistive, dielectric and magnetic losses. Distributions of different modes of energy generated for different frequencies and widths of laser beam irradiating on particles on a surface are presented. Heating and melting during additive manufacturing are, therefore, revealed. Figure-1 shows high energy generation or divergence of Poynting vector occurs near the peak and surface of particles on a surface for different radii of incident electromagnetic wave. Electrical field propagates in radial directions while energy generation decreases, provided that the radius of incident electromagnetic wave decreases.
