Cover Story: In this work, a powder test rig that mimics the real flow conditions of a PBF-LB/M system is used to measure the quality of X3NiCoMoTi18-9-5 powder layers applied at different recoater speeds by determining powder surface roughness. The same recoating settings are then used on a real PBF-LB/M system to produce samples and investigate their densities depending on the recoater speed. The results show that the recoater speed influences the surface of the applied powder bed and has an effect on the density of the manufactured samples. This influence decreases if only high-density samples are considered. View this paper
