Hot stamping is part of a specific type of metalworking procedure widely used in the automotive industry. This research seeks to help make hot stamp tooling component production more cost-effective by using large-scale additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing can produce dissimilar steel components that can be more cost-effective and time-efficient and allow for complex geometries to be made. A dissimilar steel system consisting of 410 martensitic stainless steel and AWS ER70S-6 mild steel is proposed to make hot stamps, making them more cost-efficient. However, the material interface's mechanical behavior in 410SS-mild steel additively manufactured material systems is not well understood. This …

As ferritic-martensitic (FM) steels receive increasing interest, due to the development of Generation IV fission reactors and fusion reactors, it is imperative to understand how the metals will behave under irradiation. Of the radiation effects, radiation-induced segregation (RIS) is of particular concern as it can lead to the formation of intermetallic phases, stress corrosion cracking, and other detrimental effects. However, predicting RIS in FM steels is more complex due to the lack of consistent trends in experimental results. Therefore, we developed a program to simulate RIS in FM alloys. By performing a sensitivity analysis of the input parameters, we found …
