With time at temperature, changes in metallurgical structure can be expected for almost any steel or alloy. In stainless steels, the changes can be grain growth, carbide precipitation, ferrite decomposition, or embrittlement. These phenomena can significantly effect the properties of the steel and would potentially change the functionality of the component. Therefore, to determine component stability, the elevated temperature microstructure stability of additive manufacturing materials was studied. This work investigates the influence of different aging times of additive material stainless steels (304L) fabricated with the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process on microstructure and mechanical properties. Microstructure and mechanical properties were …

Transient temperature history is vital in direct laser deposition (DLD) because it reveals the cooling rate at specific temperatures, which directly relates to phase transformation and types of microstructure formed in deposit. FEA simulation was employed to study the transient temperature history and cooling rate at different experimental setups in Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb DLD process. In this paper, an innovative model was described, which combines a moving Gaussian distribution heat source and element birth and death technology in ANSYS, help to analysis cooling rate control method and guide crack-free deposits build process.
