Fig. 3 2D melt pool contours from the numerical model compared to experiments [16] for (a) VED =
65 J/mm3
at 7 mm from the beginning of the single track (b) VED = 103 J/mm3
at 3 mm from the
beginning of the single track (c) VED = 103 J/mm3
at 7 mm from the beginning of the single track. In
the 2D contour, the non-melted region is indicated in blue, and the melted region is indicated by red and
green when the VED is 65 J/mm3
and 103 J/mm3
respectively.
