Abstract Hatch spacing is a crucial parameter for achieving superior mechanical properties during the process of laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) process. However, the optimum hatch spacing is based on trial and error approaches using pre-existing experience. In this paper, we have systematically compared the porosity characteristics, microstructure evolution, and thermal gradients in double tracks of AlSi10Mg under various hatch spacings during blue laser directed energy deposition (BL-DED). A peculiar phenomenon of pore segregation is observed at the boundary of the overlapping zone of adjacent deposited tracks, where the porosity is almost 8 times that of… More >
