Physical, metallurgical and mechanical characterization of an austenitic stainless steel produced by selective laser melting
Abstract
Complex parts of Selective Laser Melted (SLM) 316L stainless steel are now proposed as standard products by additive manufacturing companies and have been thoroughly studied on blade-type machines. In this study, a 10-45μm 316L powder batch was characterized and used to produce specimens on a forward and backward counter-rotating roller machine. Effects of solution annealing on density and microstructure of SLM cubes were studied. Tensile properties, impact strength and hardness of as-build and heat-treated samples were compared to forged materials and data of 316L SLM produced on blade-type machines.
