Abstract

Alloy 17-4 PH (AISI 630) is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel that has been extensively employed in the industries of aerospace, marine, and chemical. In this study, bulk parts of both 17-4 PH and Al₂O₃ reinforced 17-4 PH composites were fabricated on a steel substrate by laser engineered net shaping (LENS) process to investigate the effects of Al₂O₃ reinforcements on the part performance. The 17-4 PH powders were pre-mixed with Al₂O₃ nanoparticles by ball milling. The microstructures of both parts were observed using scanning electron microscopy and mechanical properties including microhardness and compressive properties were evaluated by means of a Vickers microhardness tester and a universal tester, respectively. The results indicate that Al₂O₃ reinforced 17-4 PH composite parts fabricated by LENS process exhibited superior microhardness and compressive properties as compared to pure 17-4 PH parts.
