Abstract

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a fast growing process of rapid production fur metallic based parts. To restore damaged mold surface using SLS, single layer experiments of $20{\mu}m$ Fe-Cr powder was performed under various heat input. Process window of $20{\mu}m$ Fe-Cr powder provided feasible process parameters for the smooth regular surface. To estimate coherence between melted powder and basematal, tendency of hardness distribution has been observed. Hardness of melted zone and remelted zone was diversified from 5GPa to 6.5GPa. It is over 2 times compared of hardness of basemetal. Average surface roughness of each direction on surface of melted powder was measured. Experimental results show that the mold restoring process using SLS can be successfully applied in the mold repair industry.
