(a) Setup for the laser melting of EAC-1A with the possibility to apply vacuum. (b) Diagram of the application of vacuum thorough the powder bed. (c) Cross section of one fragment of a laser melted sample (10 kW, 600 s) showing the different material types within the sample. (d) Melting depth of EAC-1A powder bed as a function of laser radiation time. In addition, for a radiation time of 20 min (1200 s), different laser output powers have been applied.
