Abstract In this work, the borided layers were produced on AISI H13 steel via solid boriding with a powders mixture containing 90 wt.% B 4 C and 10 NaBF for treatment times of 2-6 h at 900, 950 1000 °C. The microscopic observations revealed less pronounced toothed interface between layer transition zone. XRD studies indicated presence dual phase boride (FeB/Fe 2 B) besides chromium vanadium bor...

Laser powder bed fusion is an attractive manufacturing technology promising novel components for the aircraft, automobile, and medical industries. However, depending on material, some defects in parts, especially pores or microcracks, cannot be avoided LPBF process. To achieve a part with low defect density, optimal parameter sets must determined. Many investigations have focused how laser spee...

AISI H13 steel samples were additively manufactured using a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) system. The effect of annealing tem-perature, quenching & tempering, and nitriding determined. microstructure properties the investigated optical microscopy, scanning electron backscattered diffraction, probe micro-analysis, X-ray roughness measurement, hardness tester. results show that as-built samp...

In this work, AISI H13 tool steel build-ups were produced through wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The cold metal transfer (CMT), low spatter control (LSC) and pulsed synergic (PS) current deposition modes compared. Similar strategy was employed in order to attempt evaluate the influence of energy input on geometrical mechanical properties deposits. To deposits, hardness tensile tests ca...
