Effect of selective laser melting process parameters on the microstructure and properties of a precipitation hardening stainless steel

In this paper, selective laser melting (SLM) was used to manufacture corrax stainless steel samples under different parameters. It was found that the SLMed samples were mainly composed by lots of fine martensite (including cellular structure, cellular dendritic grains and blocky grains), and trace a...
