Abstract
In order to explore the microstructure and mechanical properties of CX stainless steel formed by selective laser melting, the chemical composition, microstructure and properties of the samples were analyzed by optical microscope, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and backscattered electron diffraction technology. The results show that the temperature gradient and high cooling rate have an important influence on the microstructure and anisotropy of SLM formed CX stainless steel. CX stainless steel is mainly composed of a large amount of martensite structure and a small amount of austenite phase struct-ure, and the three-dimensional microstructure is obviously different. In the three-dimensional section, the texture of < 110 > crystal orientation in XOZ plane is the strongest, followed by YOZ, and the specific orientation of grains in XOY plane is the weakest. In comparison, the XOZ plane has the best mechanical properties, and its tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and microh-ardness reach 1045.29 MPa, 829.51 MPa, 16.70% and 364.89 HV, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
