Abstract Scope |
Maraging 300 steel (M300) shares similar mechanical properties as other maraging steels and is used in a large scope of applications interested in the combined tensile strength and high strength-to-weight ratio. This form of steel is unique because of its hardening reaction that does not include carbon. M300 from laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing has a unique fine microstructure, which is a result of the layer-by-layer printing process and process parameters of L-PBF. Due to the nature of the L-PBF printing process, it is expected that the manufactured parts have residual stress and other defects. There are several post-processing procedures, such as heat treatments, that are performed on these parts to eliminate some of these defects. This research explores the process parameters that can improve the overall quality and mechanical properties of a print as well as the current status of M300 in L-PBF. |
