| Abstract Scope |
Under additive manufacturing, the understanding of complex phase transformation routes of stainless steels, influenced by composition and processing conditions, is a necessity for greater adoption in industry. 17-4 precipitate hardened (PH) stainless steel has faced challenges towards producing consistent microstructures due to its sensitivity towards processing conditions and alloy composition. Final as-built microstructures for this alloy have shown complex combinations of δ-ferrite, austenite, and/or martensite at different phase fraction and morphologies. This work uncovers the complex relations between composition and phase transformation route in 17-4 PH through targeted custom compositional developments and in-situ high-speed x-ray diffraction that is able to reveal the phase transformation route from melt to room temperature. This work is further supplemented by advanced characterization techniques. Results reveal a rapid massive-like transformation occurring from delta ferrite to austenite that will be essential to control in order to obtain the required fully martensitic microstructure at room temperature. |
