Unlike conventional manufacturing process which is subtractive, LMD produces part layer by layer from the ground up and has been used to fabricate fully dense components using a variety of metallic powders. This paper investigates the evolving properties of laser deposited 17-4PH stainless steel. The microstructure was martensitic with a dendritic structure. The average microhardness of the samples was found to be less than their wrought counterpart.enAdditive manufacturingLaser metal depositionMicrostructureMicrohardnessConference PresentationBayode, A., Pityana, S.
