Selective laser melting (SLM) was used to prepare 316L stainless steel parts and the effects of laser power on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the final products were studied. With increasing applied laser power, the defects of as-built parts were reduced greatly and the as-built parts presented a highest relative density of 99.1%. The tensile strength of samples was significantly improved from 321 ± 10 MPa to 722 ± 10 MPa. The microhardness was homogeneous; the residual stresses in the samples were tensile, which were higher in the section perpendicular to the laser scanning strategy. The probable reasons for this phenomenon were proposed.
