Additive manufacturing of maraging steel-H13 bimetals using laser powder bed fusion technique

In this paper, maraging steel powder was deposited on top of an H13 tool steel using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique. The mechanical properties, microstructure, and interfacial characteristics of the additively manufactured MS1-H13 bimetals were investigated using different mechanical and microstructural techniques. Several uniaxial tensile tests and micro-hardness indentations were performed to identify the mechanical properties of the...
