Development of High-Surface and Corrosion Resistance of 3D printed H13 by Additive Manufacturing
Development of High-Surface and Corrosion Resistance of 3D printed H13 by Additive Manufacturing
H13 steel is widely investigated in various industrial applications, including aeronautics, automotive, railway, and metal construction. Due to its advantageous availability and excellent mechanical strength, this alloy is well-manufactured using classical processes such as casting and sintering-based methods. This PhD project aims to develop a series of 3D printed H13 steel components characterized by high surface resistance against mechanical and compositional degradation. The project also considers 3D printing, machinability of these materials, and their tribological properties. Furthermore, the research seeks to gain a deeper understanding of how the chemical composition, printing parameters, and microstructure influence the steel's ability to form oxide layers and its susceptibility to localized and generalized corrosion. The proposed materials hold significant importance in transportation industries such as automotive, aeronautics, and aerospace.
