Study on Recyclability of 316L Stainless Steel Powder by Using Laser Directed Energy Deposition

Laser directed energy deposition (LDED) is a promising additive manufacturing technology based on the fused deposition of metal powder, but the low utilization rate of powder limits its commercial application. The deposition process is very complex, and the correlation between physical properties of powder and performance of specimens manufactured has not been fully revealed. So the objective of this paper is to investigate the recyclability of...
