"SLM"? You may have heard of AM -- additive manufacturing -- but how about selective laser melting, SLM? Stay on top of your acronyms with this overview on how vacuum furnaces and SLM, an AM technology, can increase fatigue performance of parts.
In this Technical Tuesday, the author not only shares what this technology can do, but also the results of SLM in laboratory studies and research at the University of Parma.
"When SLM processes are conducted within a vacuum heat process, it is possible to make more detailed components which have more intricate forms. Crucially, this means that they will often perform better than would otherwise be the case when they are in use."
