Super duplex 2507 processing by DED AM: response to chemical composition fluctuations submitted to different cooling rates
摘要
The broad compositional ranges defined as duplex stainless steels allow each supplier to market the same alloy with a unique chemical profile. This study investigates the hypothesis that these compositional shifts significantly affect the alloy’s final characteristics. Gas atomized powders from two suppliers, both classified as super duplex stainless steel 2507 (SDSS 2507) based on their nominal chemical composition and with similar granulometry, were processed using two solidification kinetics, imposed by directed energy deposition (DED) techniques: Laser and Plasma. An atomized powder presents low
