Influence of compound field-assisted on the mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

The advantages of field-assisted laser additive manufacturing in optimizing microstructure and performance are increasingly recognized. Recently, we investigated the effects of acoustic field (AF) assisted laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) on the mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel (SS) and 3...

description The advantages of field-assisted laser additive manufacturing in optimizing microstructure and performance are increasingly recognized. Recently, we investigated the effects of acoustic field (AF) assisted laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) on the mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel (SS) and 316L SS/WC composite materials. Due to the effects of acoustic streaming and cavitation, acoustic field-assisted LPBF achieved optimized mechanical properties. Building on our previous research on AF-assisted LPBF, we introduced magnetic field (MF) and compound field (MF+AF) to study their effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 316L SS, 1 wt% and 3 wt% WC/316L SS. Application of the MF induces induced currents in the melt pool due to the Thomson-Seebek effect. The interaction between the MF and induced currents generates thermoelectric magnetic force (TEMF) and thermoelectric magnetic convection (TEMC), which inhibit the growth of columnar grains and enhance mass and heat transfer in the melt pool. Compound field-assisted LPBF reduced the dislocation density of 316L SS, refined grain size, alleviated the concentration distribution of grain orientation, and the ultimate tensile strength of the samples reached 777 MPa and the elongation at break reached 57.5%. Interestingly, for WC/316L SS, both MF and compound field resulted in a decrease in tensile performance, with ultimate tensile strengths as low as 677 MPa and elongations at break as low as 25.1%. This is because the MF affects the uniform distribution of WC particles, causing significant agglomeration and severe unmelted defects in the composite material, leading to a decrease in tensile performance.
