Texture evolution in stainless steel processed by selective laser melting and annealing

Abstract: This work analyses the texture and microstructure gradients emerging in a 316L stainless steel processed by selective laser melting, using an island scan strategy, followed by annealing. Laser processing leads to the alignment of different crystallographic directions with the build direction at the mid and top layers, as well as to gradual structural coarsening. Annealing triggers discontinuous recrystallisation at highly strained regions, such as grain boundaries and laser track centre lines, resulting in the… Show more

“…The HT1 and HT2 samples were heat treated at 650 • C and 1050 • C respectively, and the REF sample served as a reference without any further treatment. The temperatures were selected according to the results of previous research, where annealing at 650 • C resulted in residual stress reduction and partial redistribution of small particles of secondary phases in microstructure [48]. The same effect was confirmed in this investigation, and in addition, changes in the relief of the individual melt pools were detected in the microstructure.…”

“…The same effect was confirmed in this investigation, and in addition, changes in the relief of the individual melt pools were detected in the microstructure. The annealing treatment was previously used in some research [48][49][50] for complete structure homogenization and residual stress reduction. Metallographic observation also confirmed complete melt pools reliefs disappearing and only the presence of equiaxial austenitic grains in material microstructure.…”

“…SLM, unlike SLS, is difficult to manage because melting the powder particles requires a high energy input from the laser beam (Papadakis et al, 2018). Concerning the quality aspects, SLM is a proven technology where parts are manufactured with high density (Lin et al, 2019), which can be further processes as any welding part like heat treatment processes (Fergani et al, 2018a;Fergani et al, 2018b) or hybrid manufacturing (Costa et al, 2021;Bambach et al, 2020bBambach et al, , 2021. On the other hand, the tolerance and surface finishes are limited.…”

“…Typical grain morphologies of equiaxed ne grain and columnar grain were observed in 316L and Inconel region, while a visible grain coarsening transition region appeared between these two regions, and the average grain size were calculated to be 0.96 µm, 3.13 µm and 28.5 µm along the building direction. The coarsened grains proved to be the result of continued growth of 316L steel grains, which was attributed to the re-melting and recrystallization caused by the heat input effect when forming the Inconel 718 part and the continued growth of the grains caused by the temperature gradient and cooling rate declining [42] and nally, exacerbating the weakening of the interface performance.…”
