EBSD characterization of selected laser melted 316L stainless steel by Muhammad Shafiq Omar

“…It is found that SLM results in longer, epitaxial grains to be observed and leads to finer grain sizes which in turn leads to more improved mechanical properties such as strength. Also, Vickers microhardness tests are conducted and SLM of the sample leads to increased average microhardness value of 219.04 HV while wrought 316L has an average value of 198.76 HV.…”
