Surface discontinuities in L-PBF AlSi10Mg were assessed using thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA). A specimen with various surface hole depths and diameters was effectively detected using TSA on both surfaces. Defects up to 2.5 mm in depth and 3.0 mm or more in diameter could be identified using TSA and agreed with numerical simulations.
