Abstract

A Multi Phase Field model is proposed to describe melting and re-solidification induced by laser-material interaction in Selective Laser Melting (SLM). On the basis of the free enthalpy, nucleation and growth processes occurring during the relevant phase transformations are explicitly taken into account. Within this contribution, the focus is laid on the SLM processing of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with special emphasis on the transition between β-Titanium and melt. The results are discussed and compared to those of more conventional modeling approaches.
