Abstract: | ABSTRACTA novel 15Cr13MoY alloy steel powder used for direct laser deposition was produced using the vacuum induction gas atomisation (VIGA) method. The characteristics and laser printability of the 15Cr13MoY alloy steel powder were studied. The flowability of the spherical powder was 18.98?s/50?g?1, and apparent density was 4.75?g?cm?3. The fabricated 15Cr13MoY alloy steel samples composed of ferrite and bainite were prepared by DLD. The phases primarily consisted of a Fe–Cr–Mn solid solution M7C3, M23C6 and Y2O3. At the optimum laser power of 2200W, the average microhardness of 15Cr13MoY alloy steel sample was 350 HV, the tensile strength was 897?MPa, the yield strength was 704?MPa, the average elongation was 14.5%, and the product of strength and plasticity was 13.0?GPa%. The 15Cr13MoY alloy steel powder produced usingthe VIGA method had good powder characteristics and printability for fabricating the components produced by DLD. |
