Abstract. The effect of building orientations, sample conditions, and loading ratio (R-value) are important factors in terms of fatigue behavior. The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors that affect the fatigue behavior in additively manufactured laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) 316L stainless steel. A statistical analysis was performed to point the significant and insignificant factors with different building orientations, samples conditions, and R-value. This statistical analysis provides the most significant factors to be considered for fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel additive manufacturing.
