The effect of manufacturing parameters on mechanical and corrosion resistance is investigated using tensile tests and electrochemical experiments for selective laser-melted 15-5PH stainless steel. The results demonstrate that when laser power is decreased to 150 W and scanning speed increased to 1400 mm s À1 , manufacturing defects increase. Plasticity and corrosion resistance reduce significantly. Cracks mainly originate from manufacturing defects and extend along the interface between molten pools. Corrosion occurs near manufacturing defects. Finally, the most suitable laser energy density is 130 J mm À3 for 15-5PH stainless steel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
