| Abstract Scope |
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is increasingly becoming an important technique within industry, offering waste, and production time reductions for both simple and complex parts in small batches. The non-equilibrium nature of the AM process has resulted in gaps in our understanding of the effects of processing parameters on the build microstructure and properties. 316 grade stainless steel (SS) is a commercially available austenitic SS, which possesses a good combination of corrosion resistance and strength making it an ideal choice for marine and nuclear applications. Here, a systematic study investigating the effect of scan strategies on the microstructure and properties of 316 steel and its modifications fabricated via laser powder bed fusion will be performed to generate well curated process-structure-property datasets. The build microstructure will be characterized with electron microscopy and allied techniques to quantify the microstructural variations in the build, correlating them to site-specific properties of the build using indentation-based testing. |
