| Abstract Scope |
The cyclic deformation behavior of an austenitic 316L stainless steel produced by laser powder bed fusion in two heat treated conditions and featuring a low defect population is presented. Strain controlled push/pull tests were performed between room temperature and 600 °C. The PBF‑LB/M/316L exhibits an initial cyclic hardening, followed by a cyclic softening. The grade of softening decreases (i) with increasing test temperature and (ii) after a partial dissolution of its dislocation substructure through heat treatment. The deformation behavior and its dependency on test temperature and heat-treated/microstructural condition are attributed to the slip character and related changes. With either a partially dissolved dislocation substructure or increasing test temperature the material exhibits typical wavy slip characteristics. In the opposite case, the deformation mechanism seems to be rather planar dislocation slip as the formation of slip planes spanning through entire grains was observed, seemingly acting as pathways of easy dislocation movement. |
