The possibility of selective laser sintering of graded porous and compactly porous structures by surface fusion of powder particles is demonstrated while maintaining a solid core, which leads to the formation of interparticle contacts in the presence of a liquid phase. The interaction of the light flux of the laser pulse with the surface of the powder particles under multiple reflection is considered. It is shown that the effect of single pulses of laser radiation leads to the formation of sintered structural elements of a powder material having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the focal spot. Technological regimes of pulsed laser action are established at which steady contact formation of titanium powder particles of the fractional compositions under study occurs. The possibility of obtaining powder materials with a gradient structure by controlling the parameters of pulsed laser action is experimentally demonstrated. It was found that accurate dosing of thermal energy and the number of pulses of laser radiation makes it possible to minimize shrinkage of powder layers in the absence of particle conglomeration, to control the structural characteristics and properties of products, to preserve the microstructure and phase composition of the initial materials.

Abstract Selective laser sintering (SLS) technology produces a substantial amount of un-sintered polyamide 12 powders after the manufacturing process. Failure to recycle and reuse these aged powders not only leads to economic losses but also is environmentally unfriendly. This is particularly problematic for powder particles close to the heat-affected zones that go through severe thermal degradations during the laser sintering processes. Limited procedures exist for systematically reusing such extremely aged powders. This work proposes a systematic method to maximize reusability of aged and extremely aged polyamide 12 powders. Building on a previously untapped interlayer heating, pre-processing, and a systematic mixing of powder materials, we show how reclaimed polyamide 12 powders can be consistently reprinted into functional samples, with mechanical properties even superior to current industrial norms. In particular, the proposed method can yield printed samples with 18.04% higher tensile strength and 55.29% larger elongation at break using as much as 30% of extremely aged powders compared to the benchmark sample.

Phosphor powder and phosphor-binder mixtures are successfully employed for temperature calibration measurements by using laser-induced phosphorescence (LIP) technique with an emphasis on higher precisions and accuracies than other non-intrusive methods. The phosphorescence intensities are used to perform these calibrations in three different strategies. The influence of laser power regular changes on particles heating and the calibration analyses is also carried out. A pulsed laser at 355 nm was used for exciting specimens of the phosphor powder as well as the phosphor-binder mixtures. The laser beam was directed onto the specimens and varied in three laser power levels (LPLs). The samples were kept in an oven with temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 1800 °C. The three strategies which are expressed in terms of non-dimensional intensity versus wavelength (NDI-W), normalised intensity (NI) and intensity ratio (IR) were used for the calibration assessments. A modified IR was compared with two different IRs. A precision of around ± (0.50-1.41)% was attained for different calibration methods. This research confirmed that these calibrations are possible using three different strategies, given high precisions and accuracies. The laser power alternations influenced the NI and do affect neither the NDI-W nor the IR curves. The laser radiation does not play any role for heating the particles of the studied powder.
