	Abstract:	Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is used to make strong and hard metallic functional components layer by layer directly from several kinds of metallic powders. The high laser power (about 1 kW) during SLS results in high-localised temperature rise (about 1000–1500°C). Thermal stresses are generated due to temperature gradient. The study of thermal stress distribution within the metallic layer is important from the quality of the product point of view. A transient Finite Element Method (FEM)-based 2D temperature and thermal stress model has been developed to calculate the temperature distribution and thermal stress distribution within a single metallic layer formed on the powder bed using SLS. This paper predominantly deals with the effects of laser power and time of scanning on thermal stress distribution within a single layer of Ni-based alloy (82.8 %Ni, 9.5 %Cr, 2%B, 3%Si, 2.3%Fe, 0.4%C) during SLS.
