The light microscope images show the layer structure of the magnesium alloy. There are only isolated bonding defects (~ 40 µm) and micropores. This set of parameters produced the best results.
The chemical composition of WE43 according to an EDX analysis is (wt.-%):

  • Y 5 %
  • Nd 3.4 %
  • Zr 1 %
  • Mg 90.6 %

 

  • Laser class 400 W
  • Beam diameter 130 µm
  • Layer thickness 30 µm
  • VED 238 J/mm³
  • Build-up rate 3 cm³/h
  • Relative density > 99.9
  • Powder grain fraction 15-53 µm
