Abstract
Marangoni flow has a substantial influence on the quality of components fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). However, Marangoni flow in melt pools is rarely quantified due to the opacity of liquid metals and the necessity for in situ evaluation. Here we report the findings of high-temporal-resolution synchrotron x-ray radiography experiments tracking the flow in the melt-pool. Dense, highly attenuating tungsten carbide particles are seeded within an elemental powder blend of aluminium and copper of varying composition. Due to the extremely high temporal resolution of greater than 50 kfps at the 31-ID-B beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, USA, we can track the position of tracer particles from frame to frame. This data provides valuable process guidance for optimising mixing and informs the development and validation of multiphysics models.
