Abstract
Nano-scale MnSiO3 Rhodonite particles were observed in 316L stainless steel fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). These oxide particles act as Zener-pinning particles providing dragging force to retard grain growth, and enhance strength through the comparison of Hall-Petch effects between SLM 316L and commercial wrought 316L under 1200 °C isothermal heat treatment. The metastable Rhodonite particles were observed to in-situ convert to stable MnCr2O4 Spinel particles at 1200 °C, as predicted by computational thermodynamics. This work introduces nano-scale oxides, which are normally detrimental inclusions, as a new type of particle for grain refinement and strengthening through their refinement in additive manufacturing.
