| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing(AM) is being incorporated into many industries such as Medicine, Aerospace, and Energy systems. Stainless Steel (SS) 316H is the high carbon modification of 316 alloys which is favored in nuclear reactors because of its higher temperature range (500 C) and high tensile and yield strength. Compared to the AM 316L(low carbon version ) there is an insufficient amount of literature for the characterization and analysis of AM 316H. Therefore, in this project, AM 316H samples were printed and analyzed by various characterization methods and were set against the values of the conventional way. XRD was used to determine crystalline structures. SEM/EDS showed that there were lower amounts of Carbon but higher amounts of Copper and Nickel in the region of cracks. A micro tensile tester was used to determine the tensile strength and showed results less than conventional 316H values but are correlated to print properties. |
