The densification mechanism in L-PBF of AlSi10Mg alloy with varying process parameters has been investigated. The suitability of using volumetric [Jmm(-3)], areal [Jmm(-2)] land linear [Jmm(-1)] energy density as design parameters is discussed. To compare process conditions between continuous and pulsed laser systems, the jump speed v(j) of a pulsed L-PBF system is calculated by means of an experimentally validated FE thermal model previously developed at TWI.The importance of using v(j) in scan speed calculations is demonstrated.This allowed calculation of accurate energy levels comparable to optimal conditions reported in literature. The power factor (P-F) model and the specific point energy (E-SP), used to describe and replicate the laser welding process in different laser systems, have been adapted to describe the L-PBF process. E-SP-P-F curve is introduced, showing optimal processing windows applicable to different L-PBF systems with powers ranging from 175 to 967 W and laser focus diameter from 75 to 300 mu m. Quantitative indicators for hatch spacing and layer thickness optimisation are presented for processing AlSi10Mg alloy: 1) melt-width overlapping coefficient >= 30%, 2) width-to-depth ratio >= 0.8 (using the measured half width) and 3) melt-depth limit <410 mu m.
