摘要： Laser surface re-melting (LSR) is a promising method for improving the surface quality of parts fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM). In this research, LSR under different linear energy densities (LEDs) was conducted numerically and experimentally. Additionally, double LSR using an LED of 225 J/m was conducted, and the surface morphology, melt pool flow behavior, melt pool size, and thermal behavior was investigated. The results show that for LSR with a low LED, the maximum flow velocity and maximum temperature was rather low, such that the surface was not reconfigured sufficiently. Furthermore, the surface between adjacent scan paths may not be entirely re-melted with a low LED, because the melt pool width was insufficient. However, when the LED was high, the maximum temperature gradient was rather large, giving rise to cracks. For double LSR with a moderate LED, the surface morphology was quite smooth and did not contain obvious defects. The results indicate that LSR is a feasible method for improving the surface quality, and repeated LSR with a moderate LED and small hatch space is recommended in SLM.
