Residual Stress States in Microstructurally Graded PBF–LB/M Austenitic Steel Components
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines microstructurally graded 316L rectangular tube profiles fabricated via PBF–LB/M using a dual‐laser system. A 1 kW top‐hat and a 400 W Gaussian laser create distinct grain sizes and crystallographic texture. Mechanical properties are linked to microstructural evolution driven by processing conditions.
