Figure 1
The panel a shows as built L B P B F walls on a base plate with X, Y, and Z, B D coordinate axes. A wire cut operation removes a specimen from the wall along the indicated cutting direction. Panel b shows a meander pattern with hatch paths changing direction repeatedly, and the angle theta marked beside the pattern. Panel c shows the wire cut test specimen with an overall length of 100 millimetres. The reduced gauge section measures 31 millimetres in length. The grip section measures 30 millimetres in length. The specimen thickness is 3 millimetres. The specimen width is 10 millimetres. A central feature measures 6 millimetres.(a) The schematic illustration of as-built 316L, (b) LB-PBF Scan pattern and (c) wire-cut tensile test sample dimensions
