Microstructure and mechanical properties of hybrid additive manufactured dissimilar 17-4 PH and 316L stainless steels

Hybrid metal additive manufacturing is a novel way of combining the advantages of different manufacturing methods. It offers the freedom of fabricating functional parts with varying requirements such as size and complexity, overcoming the need for additional joining operations. On the other hand, combining dissimilar materials enables the route for obtaining different properties such as mechanical strength, high temperature and corrosion...
