    adoption of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) as an additive manufacturing technique
    has been slow in the oil and gas (O&amp;G) industry because of the uncertainty
    regarding material performance and the lack of suitable materials. The high investment
    and time required for LPBF development also discourage adoption. This study aims
    to address these concerns by developing a parameter set for a relevant material
    using a systematic approach to optimize the density of the printed parts with
    reduced experimental effort.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n                  <jats:sec>\r\n
    \                   <jats:title>Design/methodology/approach</jats:title>\r\n                    <jats:p>First,
    an industry-relevant Ni-based superalloy, UNS N09946, was gas-atomized to produce
    a powder. The powder was fully characterized to ensure successful printing. Next,
    a processing parameter set tailored for achieving full density was developed for
    UNS N09946 using a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach based on the volumetric
    energy density equation.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n                  <jats:sec>\r\n
    \                   <jats:title>Findings</jats:title>\r\n                    <jats:p>A
    model was created using Response Surface Methodology that relates laser power,
    scan speed and hatch distance to efficiently identify successful parameter combinations,
    thus reducing the number of specimens necessary for the successful manufacturing
    of UNS N09946 using LPBF. A part density of 99.9% was achieved using this method.</jats:p>\r\n

    \                   <jats:p>This study applies an existing experimental design
    method to a never-before-printed material. The reduced experimental effort through
    this method and lessons learned from the gas atomization process can be directly
    applied to other materials in and outside the O&amp;G industry to further the
    adoption of LPBF as a serious manufacturing technology.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>@eng"
