Abstract

Laser and electron beam melting technologies are presented in this chapter along with a range of examples of metal and alloy products fabricated by these technologies. Laser beam melting or selective laser melting (SLM) in contrast to electron beam melting (EBM) processes metal or alloy powders in an inert atmosphere as opposed to a vacuum. Complex melting and solidification of the layers invokes new directional solidification metallurgy.
