4 precipitation hardenable (PH) stainless steel is a useful material when a combination of
high strength and good corrosion resistance up to about 315° C is required. In the wrought …

The mechanical behavior and the microstructural evolution of 17-4 precipitation hardenable
(PH) stainless steel processed using selective laser melting have been studied. Test …

Static and fatigue experiments were conducted on conventionally manufactured (CM) and
additively manufactured (AM) 17–4 PH stainless steels in ambient air. The fatigue …

Laser powder deposition (LPD) is a rapid manufacturing process, whereby near-net-shape
components are fabricated by the successive overlapping of layers of laser melted and …

A comparative study of the abrasive wear behaviour has been conducted on several tool
steel coatings that were deposited by laser cladding process using a CW CO2 laser in …

Laser surface melting (LSM) were carried out in three types of stainless steels—austenitic,
martensitic and ferritic—in order to improve pitting corrosion resistance. After the LSM, most …

In this work, the influence of the proportion of retained austenite in the abrasive wear
resistance of a laser surface melted martensitic stainless tool steel is analysed. Samples of a …

Laser surface melting of AISI 440C martensitic stainless steel was achieved using a 2.5-kW
continuous wave Nd: YAG laser. The pitting corrosion behavior of laser surface-melted …

Surface modification of AISI 410 martensitic stainless steel was carried out by laser surface-
melting using laser engineered net shaping (LENSTM). The microstructures of laser surface …

Surface hardening of AISI 440C martensitic stainless steel was achieved by laser
transformation hardening (LTH) using a high-power CW Nd: YAG laser. A hardened layer of …
