Fig. 9From: A novel physics-based and data-supported microstructure model for part-scale simulation of laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4VRepresentative state of the thermal model. The top frame depicts the mesh, for which refinement is mediated by distance from the free surface, the bottom left frame depicts the temperature field, and the bottom right frame depicts the internal phase variable (with gray representing the baseplate, which is consolidated material throughout the simulation) as well as containing several temperature contours, with blue being \(T=505\ K\), red being the melt temperature, and yellow being the vaporization temperatureBack to article page
