In the present work, the effect of build-up orientation angle and printing speed on mechanical properties of 17-4 PH stainless steel components realized by Bound Metal Deposition technology was investigated. Furthermore, the presence of microscopical and macroscopical defects was analyzed as a function of the printing parameters investigated. To this purpose, tensile specimens, printed with different build-up orientation angles (0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees) and printing speeds (15, 30, 45, and 60 mm/s), were tested at room temperature to evaluate the mechanical properties as a function of the process parameters. Furthermore, stereo optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used, respectively, to observe the macroscopical and microscopical defect presence on the 3D printed parts built with different build-up orientation angles and printing speeds. It was demonstrated that the build-up orientation angle and printing speed significantly affect the mechanical properties and the surface finish of 3D printed components, as well as the presence of micro-defects due to the layer-by-layer filament deposition. In particular, the build-up orientation angle of 45 degrees confers less mechanical to the specimens than the other two orientations investigated, both in terms of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, high print speeds do not significantly contribute to a worsening of mechanical performance but influence the surface finish which is characterized by greater printing defects.

Abstract
In the present work, the effect of build-up orientation angle and printing speed on mechanical properties of 17-4 PH stainless steel components realized by Bound Metal Deposition technology was investigated. Furthermore, the presence of microscopical and macroscopical defects was analyzed as a function of the printing parameters investigated. To this purpose, tensile specimens, printed with different build-up orientation angles (0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees) and printing speeds (15, 30, 45, and 60 mm/s), were tested at room temperature to evaluate the mechanical properties as a function of the process parameters. Furthermore, stereo optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used, respectively, to observe the macroscopical and microscopical defect presence on the 3D printed parts built with different build-up orientation angles and printing speeds. It was demonstrated that the build-up orientation angle and printing speed significantly affect the mechanical properties and the surface finish of 3D printed components, as well as the presence of micro-defects due to the layer-by-layer filament deposition. In particular, the build-up orientation angle of 45 degrees confers less mechanical to the specimens than the other two orientations investigated, both in terms of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, high print speeds do not significantly contribute to a worsening of mechanical performance but influence the surface finish which is characterized by greater printing defects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
