title = "Effect of laser power on surface finish during Laser Metal Deposition process",
abstract = "Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) process is an additive manufacturing technology that is used to fabricate complex part through adding of materials layer after layer until the part is completed. Poor surface finish is one of the limitations in additive manufacturing process. In this study, the influence of processing parameters on the surface finish produced on laser metal deposited Titanium alloy was studied. The laser power was varied between 0.8 kW 3.2 The scanning speed was kept at 0.005 m/s and the powder flow rate was kept constant at 2 g/min. The gas flow rate was also kept constant at 2 1/min. The study revealed that as the laser power was increased, the surface finish was increased. The results are presented and discussed fully.",
