Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing of AISI 420 Martensitic Stainless Steel: On As-Printed Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of an AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel multilayer single-bead part produced by wire arc additive manufacturing were investigated. To characterize the microstructure and mechanical properties of different zones of the printed wall, samples were prepared from the bottom, middle and top regions along the part’s building direction. Microstructural analyses revealed the formation of a martensitic matrix along with delta ferrite and retained austenite as secondary phases in the as-printed microstructure. The presence of these secondary phases was correlated with the complex thermal history in the deposited layers associated with cyclic re-heating and cooling as subsequent layers were deposited. Higher hardness values were measured for the top region of the fabricated parts since these layers were not exposed to the same in situ re-heating cycles as the bottom and middle layers. Uniaxial tensile tests along the building and deposition directions revealed similar low elongation and high tensile strength for the bottom and middle regions. Differently, the samples from the top region fractured at a lower strength and elongation due to their harder nature of untempered martensitic matrix combined with the deteriorating effect of a significantly higher amount of delta ferrite in the top region.
