15-5PH is a stainless, martensitic, and hardenable Cr-Ni-Cu Steel with high strength and ductility as well as good weldability and forgeability. Typical ˜elds of application are in medical, automotive, and aerospace areas. Through solution annealing occurs. 15-5PH
All of the additive 15-5PH material was deposited with the parameters outlined in Table 2.The laser power was decreased by 200 W per deposited layer until the laser power was 1000 W, where it was held constant until the build was complete. The parameters on Table 2 were optimised for the specific powder distributions running a …
