Fig. 6: Evolutions of grain size during the SLM.

From: Phase-field modeling of grain evolutions in additive manufacturing from nucleation, growth, to coarsening

Fig. 6

a Aspect ratios of grains within all the scanning tracks; b evolutions of grain number and average grain volume in the solidified region during the scanning of the 2nd layer 2nd track. The blue dot line in b indicates the time when the scanning track is completely solidified. c Final grain number and d average grain volume in the solidified region of each specific track, where the symbols such as 1-1 and 2-3 donate the specific layer and track such as the 1st layer 1st track and 2nd layer 3rd track.
