Abstract
(1) This work answers the question of whether and to what extent there is a significant difference in mechanical properties when different additive manufacturing processes are applied to the material 1.2709. The Laser-Powder-Bed-Fusion (L-PBF) and Laser-Metal-Deposition (LMD) processes are considered, as they differ fundamentally in the way a part is manufactured. (2) Known process parameters for low-porosity parts were used to fabricate tensile strength specimens. Half of the specimens were heat-treated, and all specimens were tested for mechanical properties in a quasi-static tensile test. In addition, the material hardness was determined. (3) It was found that, firstly, heat treatment resulted in a sharp increase in mechanical properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength and ultimate strength. In addition to the increase in these properties, the elongation at break also decreases significantly after heat treatment. The choice of process, on the other hand, does not give either process a clear advantage in terms of mechanical properties but shows that it is necessary to consider the essential mechanical properties for a desired application.
