It is of great importance to study the microstructure and textural evolution of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) formed Hastelloy-X alloys, in order to establish a close relationship between the process, microstructure, and properties through the regulation of the Hastelloy-X formation process parameters. In this paper, components of a Hastelloy-X alloy were formed with different laser energy densities (also known as the volume energy density VED). The densification mechanism of Hastelloy-X was studied, and the causes of defects, such as pores and cracks, were analyzed. The influence of different energy densities on grain size, texture, and orientation was investigated using an electron backscatter diffraction technique. The results show that the average grain size, primary dendrite arm spacing, and number of low angle grain boundaries increased with the increase of energy density. At the same time, the VED can strengthen the texture. The textural intensity increases with the increase of energy density. The best mechanical properties were obtained at the VED of 96 J·mm -3 .
