摘要

The effect of support laser powers (180–240 W) on 316L stainless steel fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) at a 15° angle with a fixed main laser at 220 W was investigated in this study. A 220 W support achieved optimal tensile strength (627 MPa), yield strength (492 MPa), and elongation (37%). Although 240 W yielded the highest strength, it reduced ductility due to thermal defects. Post-annealing reduced residual stress, with X-ray diffraction showing the lowest value (347 MPa) and full width at half maximum (2.67°) at 220 W. Results indicate that 220 W offers the best balance of strength, ductility, and structural reliability for inclined SLM builds.
