EFFECT OF SCANNING ANGLE ON THE DENSITY OF 1CP/COPPER SELECTIVE LASER MELTED COMPOSITE MATERIAL

 In this work, results of the investigation of selective laser melted samples of a mixture of 1CP and copper powders with varying scanning angle are presented. The initial powder material was formed by mixing 1CP iron alloy powder and 10 wt% pure copper powder. The samples of the composite material were obtained using a selective laser melting setup with a varying scanning angle. Macrostructure, phase composition and amorphization degree data of the samples were obtained using optical microscopy, X-Ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The investigation results can be used for further research and development of the technology of soft-magnetic composites manufacturing via selective laser melting.
