Additive manufacturing is a high-potential technique that allows the production of components with almost no limitation in complexity. However, one of the main factors that still limits the laser-based additive manufacturing is a lack of processable alloys such as carbon martensitic hardenable tool steels, which are rarely investigated due to their susceptibility to cold cracking. Therefore, this study aimed to expand the variety of steels for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) by investigating an alternative alloying strategy for hot work tool steel powder. In this study, a comprehensive investigation was performed on the powder and L-PBF processed specimen properties and their correlation with the existing defects. Cubical specimens were created using the following two alloying strategies by means of L-PBF: conventional pre-alloyed gas-atomized powder and a mixture of gas-atomized powder with mechanically crushed pure elements and ferroalloys. The influence of the particle parameters such as morphology were correlated to the defect density and resulting quasi-static mechanical properties. Micromechanical behavior and damage evolution of the processed specimens were investigated using in situ computed tomography. It was shown that the properties of the L-PBF processed specimens obtained from the powder mixture performs equal or better compared to the specimens produced from conventional powder.

AbstractThe X38CrMoV5-1 hot-work tool steel produced by laser powder bed fusion was investigated to assess the effect of quenching and tempering and direct tempering on the as-built microstructure. After the printing process, the material microstructure appeared to be characterized by a fine cellular network consisting of γ-Fe cell boundaries and α′-Fe cores. Scheil–Gulliver curves, X-ray diffraction patterns, and transmission electron microscopy images suggested a transformation of the inner core zone from δ-Fe to α′-Fe through γ-Fe. Air quenching promoted the transition of the solidification structure into a fully martensitic microstructure. Both as-built and quenched samples revealed the presence of manganese oxides and vanadium carbonitrides forming core-shell structures. After tempering, starting from as-built and from quenched condition, a dispersion of nano-sized V and Cr-rich second phases was formed in the microstructure, achieving hardness values comparable to those obtained by the same alloy produced by conventional methods. The specimen tempered directly after the laser powder bed fusion process showed a hardness peak shifted towards higher temperatures compared to the conventionally tempered sample.
