SUMMARY:Tooling materials for additive manufacturing and steel shop production
DESCRIPTION:Additive manufacturing technologies like the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process are used in various industrial applications. The advantages like a possible complex shaped geometry or small lot sizes offers a high degree in freedom, for products as well as for research and development topics. But, in most cases materials with a low amount of carbon like the 1.4404 are used for LPBF. This material exhibits and easy processing with LPBF, but these kind of materials are not suitable for tooling applications. Tool steels like 1.2343 or 1.2344 offer a higher hardness and wear resistance, but the defect-free processing is complicated.
And in addition, the small lot sizes of the different AM-processes are also a drawback for this technology. Especially regarding a scale-up to a mass-production with focus on tooling. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to identify chemical compositions that provides both: a good processing with LPBF and steel shop together with properties like wear resistance. This covers the whole life-time of a part, beginning from prototyping, to mass production and finally, spare-part production
