Fig. 4 3D temperature contour plots of during single track L-PBF process at time1.8 µs when (a) VED
= 65 J/mm3 (b) VED = 103 J/mm3 along with 2D melt pool contours at 5 mm from the laser initial
position. In the 2D contour, the non-melted region is indicated in blue, and the melted region is indicated
by red and green when the VED is 65 J/mm3
and 103 J/mm3
respectively.
