Abstract

Low-alloyed steels are typically exposed to additional case-hardening post-processing to improve the mechanical properties in the case area of the material for increased hardness and wear resistance. Another possibility for improving these material properties is provided by in-situ alloying using laser-based directed energy deposition of metals (DED-LB/M). However, this requires basic understanding of the mechanisms when processing the base material. Within this work, different processing parameters for defect-free fabrication of the low-alloyed case-hardening steel Bainidur AM are presented. This includes the correlation of geometrical properties and internal defects like pores or cracks with the applied process parameters. Additional hardness measurements are performed for analyzing the influence of different processing strategies. It is found that a hardness gradient is formed and that the material hardness is depending on the process parameters used. Furthermore, the obtained material hardness is similar to the hardness values of conventionally bainitized samples obtained from literature.
