Description
Summary:Project realised in the engineering sciences and mathematics department of the Luleå University of Technology In this research, we have analysed two samples made by additive manufacturing, SLS (Selective laser sintering) and LMpD (Laser Metal Powder Deposition). It is important to note that the cooling rate in the SLS process is lower than in LMpD, this explains why the samples showed different microstructures. The aim of this project have been set the optimal polishing parameters for each sample in order to get the best EBSD (Electron backscatter diffraction ) results.
