Abstract

This study focuses on adapting the Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (E-PBF) process for the manufacturing of parts from 2507 super duplex stainless steel, combining high strength and corrosion resistance, therefore presenting an interesting choice for E-PBF implementation. Samples manufactured using four sets of process parameters were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, tensile testing, X-ray diffraction analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and nanoindentation. The different E-PBF process temperatures investigated had the strongest influence on the phase characteristics and the resulting microstructure. The processability of the material was good, and high productivity rates were achieved, indicating good suitability for industrial transfer.
