Abstract Scope |
This study investigated the correlation between quantified CrB phase through image processing and mechanical properties of a 3D printed alloy (316L stainless steel with boron). Experimental design, based on boron content, feed rate, laser power, and scan speed, was determined using the Taguchi method. Image processing techniques quantified CrB phase formation based on intensity contrast with other phases.
The CrB phase quantity significantly impacted the alloy's mechanical properties, including tensile strength and micro hardness measured using the Vickers hardness test. The study aimed to establish a relationship between quantified CrB phase and mechanical properties.
Excessive CrB phase presence adversely affected mechanical properties, necessitating optimization of processing conditions for desired properties. Signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio analysis compared quantified CrB phase results with measured mechanical properties, aiding in identifying the influence of CrB phase and determining optimal processing conditions. |
