Alloy design of maraging steels is highly matched with a nature of additive manufacturing technique since the major strengthening process relies on post-print heat treatments without thermomechanical treatments. Printing near-net shape components, followed by the strengthening heat-treatments, allows the production of large-scale metal components to be readily used for various applications, such as die-tools, after applying a limited amount of surface machining. The present study focused on wire-arc additively manufactured (WAAM) maraging 250/300/350 steels which applied standard and modified heat-treatments, targeting maximized hardness suitable for die-tool applications together with isotropic mechanical performance through controlling an equi-axed prior-austenite grain structure. Microstructural responses after various heat-treatments were corelated with the mechanical properties, and then utilized for optimization of heat-treatment suitable for the WAAM maraging steels.
