Streszczenie:
Stainless steel 316L tubes and bars were additively manufactured (AM) by using the Laser Powder Bed Fusion Melting (LPBF-M) method in three orientations. As-built specimens were then machined and the initial yield surface was determined for three printing orientations based on the yield stress definition for 0.005 % plastic offset strain. The as-received, wrought material was additionally tested using the same tension–compression-torsion conditions to compare the mechanical behaviour of AM and wrought SS316L. The sizes of yield surfaces elaborated for LPBF-M specimens increased along the tensile and compressive directions and shrunk when torsion was applied, as compared to the as-received specimen.

Streszczenie:
The Laser Powder Bed Fusion Melting (LPBF-M) method was used to additively manufacture stainless steel 316L tubes in three different orientations. The yield surface approach was implemented to assess the variation of mechanical properties within the as-built specimens. Yield surfaces were determined for each build orientation based on the definition of yield stress for 0.005% plastic offset strain. The initial yield surfaces obtained for the as-built material exhibit anisotropic behaviour, possibly resulting from the preferred grain orientation developed during LPBF-M processing.
