Spatter causes defect formation, powder redistribution and contamination in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing process. It is critical to distinguish different types of spatter and understand their features and formation mechanisms. This work reveals the features and formation mechanisms of five unique types of spatter during the LPBF process by in-situ high-speed, high-energy x-ray imaging. Spatters observed during LPBF testing are quantified by their speed, size, and direction. Distinct quantifiable characteristics for each type of spatter are identified. Effects of the laser power, scan speed, and ambient pressure on spatter formation and features are unraveled. A spatter formation map for AlSi10Mg alloy is constructed.
