    External electrical fields (EFs) control melt pool dynamics during laser processing of stainless steel. This method manipulates fluid deformations for precise material manipulation, independent of thermal effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Physics
    • Engineering

    Background:

    • Laser processing involves complex melt pool dynamics influenced by thermal parameters.
    • External electrical fields (EFs) offer a non-thermal method to influence fluid behavior.
    • Controlling melt pool responses is crucial for advanced manufacturing processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of non-contact external electrical fields on laser processing of stainless steel.
    • To explore the potential of EFs in manipulating melt pool geometry and resolidification.
    • To establish a method for controlling fluid responses independently of laser parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Laser processing of stainless steel powder under constant laser energy input.
    • Application of constant and time-varying external electrical fields.
