Influence of Microstructure on Thermal Conductivity and Toughness of Hot Work Steels Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing (AM) technique for producing hot work tools with complex geometries. This work investigates the relationship between microstructure and material properties in LPBF-produced hot work tools, contributing to a deeper understanding of the role of microstructural characteristics in determining hot work tool performance.
