Abstrakt: This work innovatively investigates the effects of scanning strategies on the thermo-mechanical behavior and surface characteristics of Ti-6Al-4 V components fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). Through integrated computational modeling and experimental validation, five scanning strategies (unidirectional linear, bidirectional alternating, contour-offset, chessboard partitioning, and cross-hatch) are evaluated to quantify their influence on thermal profiles, stress evolution, and surface integrity. Numerical simulations reveal that chessboard partitioning significantly reduces residual stresses by 44.4% compared to cross-hatch strategies, while experimental measurements confirm a corresponding 15.4% improvement in surface roughness. The thermal analysis demonstrates extreme cooling rates up to 6.0 × 107 °C/s and characteristic "teardrop" melt pool morphologies with peak temperatures exceeding 2100°C. The stress distribution patterns demonstrate a consistent orientation parallel to the scanning paths, with peak tensile stress concentrations predominantly located at the component peripheries. The findings establish quantitative process-structure-property relationships, highlighting chessboard partitioning as an optimal strategy for simultaneously reducing stress and enhancing surface quality.
