Abstract Tailoring thermal history during additive manufacturing (AM) offers a viable approach to customising the microstructure and properties of materials without changing alloy compositions, which is generally overlooked as it is hard to achieve in commercial materials. In this work, a customised Fe-Ni-Ti-Al maraging steel with rapid precipitation kinetics offers the opportunity to leverage thermal history during AM for achieving large-range tunable strength-ductility combinations without post heat treatment or changing alloy chemistry. The Fe-Ni-Ti-Al maraging steel was processed by laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) with different deposition strategies to tailor the thermal history. As the phase transformation… More >
