Abstract

The article discusses the mechanical properties and cold resistance of austenitic stainless steel (analogue 07Cr25Ni13) obtained by 3D printing by electric arc surfacing from ER309LSI welding wire on a CNC machine. These properties were investigated in the process of physical tests of samples cut along and across the layers of 3D printing for tensile and impact bending. Using optical microscopy, the microstructures of steel sections were obtained for various temperature conditions of interlayer exposure, as well as the values ​​of the recommended microhardness. In the process of 3D printing, an intelligent system for monitoring the dynamic stability of the electric arc was applied, which made it possible to guarantee the stability of the structure and properties of the obtained samples throughout the entire process of surfacing. Additional heat treatment of experimental samples (austenitization) was considered as a way to improve mechanical properties and cold resistance. It has been established that the dynamic stability of an electric arc, modes of interlayer temperature holding and subsequent heat treatment largely determine the mechanical properties and cold resistance of ER309LSI steel obtained by 3D printing by electric arc surfacing.
