Processes of Physical Treatment of Stainless Steels Obtained by Additive Manufacturing

With a vista of available stainless steel grades at our disposal, it is possible to manufacture items for wide range industries. These include chemicals production, medicine, and pharmacology, aerospace, power engineering, etc. Stainless steels are widely used mostly due their unique property set, both mechanical physicochemical ones, achieved by alloying various components. workpieces usually obtained melting, alloying, casting, subsequent rolling the desired shape. The experience in study microstructure processes physical treatment accumulated present day mainly concerns machinability (blade, abrasive, laser, etc.) such conventional techniques. Meanwhile, approaches production from additive manufacturing (AM) methods actively developing. In turn, technologies allow producing that structurally as close final product However, use AM functional products brings questions related treatability achieve characteristics. This article discusses issues characteristics properties AM.
