Currently, the fabrication of bulk components from metallic glasses and/or non-equilibrium alloys is challenging due to the cooling conditions required to obtain a complete amorphous state and/or a particular set of phases. Some additive manufacturing technologies, such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), may offer an alternative for manufacturing metallic glass components from 100% amorphous powders. However, when these materials are processed by additive manufacturing, the main challenge is to maintain the initial powder’s amorphous content in the final parts. The present work used a commercial Fe-based metallic glass to carry out an exploratory study about the influence of the main DMLS process parameters on the ability of this material to form consolidated parts. The parameters studied here were laser power, scanning speed, and volumetric energy density. In addition, the X-ray diffraction technique was used to characterize the phases obtained in the manufactured parts. This study suggests that the manufacturing of Fe-based metallic glass parts is possible, but the formation of the parts is favored in a specific range of energy densities employed during the process.
