Tailored material properties
One material, one parameter set, one melt pool structure - but still tailor the material properties ⁉️ Unleash the full #MetalAM potential on #MaterialsMonday 🚀
Controlling the material properties and still obtain a consistent melt pool structure is a major challenge in the LPBF process. Gregor Graf did some impressive studies to tailor the hardness of our high-performance tool steel Specialis® according to the application requirements.
🌟 Highlights 🌟
☑️ Hardness up to 65 HRC / 820 HV with Specialis® material
☑️ Synchronized dual-laser LPBF processing on SLM Solutions SLM 280
☑️ Tailored material properties maintainable even after heat treatment
