Manufactura aditiva para aceros inoxidables por procesos SLM.

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM), is a technique used for the creation of parts with complex geometries, which has revolutionized the area of manufacturing in the industry and can be used with materials of different properties such as polymers, ceramic materials and materials with metallic properties such as stainless steels. This article presents an analysis of this technique, using specific information on AM in stainless steels by selective laser melting (SLM). A brief account of the advantages of this technique and the advances that AM represents in the elaboration of parts used in engineering and other fields is presented, followed by a detailed description of what this process is and what it consists of. Subsequently, information is presented describing the raw materials, physical and molecular characteristics of stainless steel produced by SLM is presented, to get to know this specific topic more closely. Finally, the conclusions drawn from this study are presented.
