Abstract Scope |
In this work, we investigate the deformation mechanisms and thermal stability of L-PBF 316L SS. Our main results show that the high density of entangled dislocations inside cell walls have a higher tendency to dissociate, forming wider stacking faults while many oxide precipitates are confined inside cell walls. Both features act as barriers to moving dislocations upon plastic deformation and contribute to the high strength. Our dislocation dynamic simulations indicate that segregated particles are effective in blocking dislocations locally, helping the formation of dislocation cells and participating to the material strengthening. Our characterizations using electron microscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, CALPHAD simulations, and tensile testing of post-processed annealed materials reveal three heat treatment zones between 600 and 1200oC where the structure-property relationship can be tuned.
