Abstract Experimental study on laser sintering of nanosized titanium and nickel powders using a nanosecond laser is reported in this paper. Pulse laser with a
wavelength of 532 nm and pulse width (FWHM) of 23 nanoseconds is used. The diameters of the metal nanoparticles are between 35 to 50
nanometers. Pulse repetition rates range between 100 and 10,000 Hz and the average power is from 1 to 20 W. The powder bed is placed on a
moving stage to control the scanning velocity. Sintered metal strips with 20 mm length are formed by focusing the laser More >
