Additive manufacturingAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly growing field; however, the material has not been adequately characterized and compared to that of conventional wrought or cast materials. Stainless steelStainless steel 316L has a wide range of applications in the aerospace and biomedical fields.

Two powder blends from 316L were received from two different powder suppliers. The chemical composition has no significant effect on the as-built microstructureMicrostructure. The microstructureMicrostructure in the case of L-PBF is much finer than that in the case of L-DED. However, the microstructureMicrostructure after heat treatmentHeat treatment revealed different microstructural characteristics.
