Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Functionally Graded Bi-Materials: Role of VC on Functionalizing AISI H13 Tool Steel
Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of fabricating defect-free functionally graded bimaterials (FGMs) with enhanced wear resistance via incorporation of vanadium carbide (VC) into H13 tool steel. Three distinct composite powders containing 1, 3, and 5wt.%VC were prepared through ball-milling and subjected to laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process to print different composites on top of monolithic H13 in a wide range of process parameters. …
