AbstractLaser deposits fabricated from two different compositions of 304L stainless steel powder were characterized to determine the nature of the solidification and solid state transformations. One of the goals of this work was to determine to what extent novel microstructures consisting of single-phase austenite could be achieved with the thermal conditions of the LENS process. Although ferrite-free deposits were not obtained, structures with very low ferrite content were achieved. It appeared that, with slight changes in alloy composition, this goal could be met via two different solidification and transformation mechanisms.

AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel powder was modified with four different amounts of boron (0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4 of wt. %) in the form of MasterAlloy micro-powder, and was sintered in a pure dry hydrogen atmosphere in order to obtain high density sintered samples characterized by a thickened non-porous surface layer. We investigated the influence of the amount of boron on: density, hardness, grain microhardness, porosity, microstructure and surface quality. The study revealed that it is possible by a conventional compacting and sintering process to obtain near full-density sintered samples with a non-porous superficial layer without boride precipitations.
