LPBF Single-Track Melt Pool Dimensions from Literature and Simulations

A compilation of single-track width and depth measurements from Laser Powder Bed Fusion experiments for multiple metallic materials, gathered from multiple authors alongside corresponding processing parameters. The dataset includes both experimental results from the literature and numerically predicted counterparts. Authored by Aurore Leclercq and last updated in May 2026, it is hosted on the Borealis Harvested Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Validate predictive models for LPBF melt pool geometry based on reported experimental measurements.
• Compare experimental and numerical melt pool dimensions using the paired data.
• Develop data-driven modeling approaches for LPBF processes based on the compiled track measurements and parameters.
• Support physics-based modeling of LPBF by providing a benchmark dataset of track geometries.

Strengths

• Compiles results from multiple authors, suggesting a multi-source foundation.
• Pairs experimental measurements with numerically predicted counterparts for direct comparison.
• Explicitly documents that a melt pool depth of 0 indicates unreported data, clarifying potential misinterpretation.

Limitations

• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes that in many cases, the experimental melt pool depth is reported as 0, indicating missing data points.
