Experimental Study on Mechanical Behaviour of Additively Manufactured 17- 4ph Stainless Steel
Authors
Abstract
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a new additive manufacturing (AM) technique that uses powder materials to build three- dimensional (3D) objects layer-by-layer guided by the CAD model. SLM is used to produce objects using various materials; these objects have properties comparable to benchmarked conventionally produced parts. This investigation focuses on the mechanical behavior of 17-4PH stainless steel parts produced by direct metal printing via SLM. Tensile strength, elongation bending strength and fracture analysis of the printed parts have been observed in this paper. These properties make 17-4PH fit for many industrial applications such as structural parts in aerospace, chemical and petrochemical industries.
