Determination of Anisotropic Mechanical Properties for Materials Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Figure 14

Mechanical properties of Set 1 (postprocessing “S”), Set 2 (“S + A”), and Set 3 (“S + H + A”) with respect to orientation angle from build plate. Points indicate measured values (3 × 11 in each diagram), while the lines are either 2nd order polynomial fits (a), connecting lines (b and c) or least square fits (d), indicating the trend.
