Effect of build orientation in the SLM process on the microstructure, dislocation structure, and tribological properties of a CoCrWMo alloy
This study investigates the effect of build orientation on the microstructure, mechanical response, dislocation behaviour, and wear mechanisms of CoCrWMo alloy produced by Selective Laser Melting. Samples were fabricated at seven build angles (0°–90°) and analysed using SEM, XRD, EBSD, nanoindentation, and ball-on-disc...
