Özet
Arc-directed energy deposition (Arc-DED), also commonly referred to as wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), is a cost-effective 3D metal additive manufacturing process in which large metallic parts can be produced due to high deposition rates. Stainless steels, widely used in many areas due to their excellent corrosion resistance, are one of the most produced materials by the WAAM method. However, stainless steels have low surface hardness. Moreover, the high heat input in the deposition process in WAAM sometimes causes the mechanical properties of stainless steels to be lower than casting or wrought stainless steels. These considerations limit the use of WAAM stainless steels, especially in abrasive environments. For this purpose, 307ER stainless steel produced by WAAM method was subjected to homogenization and boriding process simultaneously at 1000 degrees C for 1 h and the effect of applied heat treatment on microstructure, phase components, hardness and wear resistance was investigated. The results showed that with the boriding process, a 30 mu m thick boride layer consisting of FeB, Fe2B, Cr5B3 and MnB phases with a hardness of 21.5 GPa and a modulus of elasticity of 310 GPa was formed in addition to the dissolution of interdendritic regions in the as-built structure and a complete homogenization of the microstructure. Furthermore, owing to the high hardness and elasticity modulus in addition to the boride layer's self-lubrication properties obtained on the WAAM samples surfaces, 31.84 times and 8.06 times increased in wear resistance at room temperature and 500 degrees C temperature, respectively, and a decrease in friction coefficients was obtained. Moreover, the results showed that the simultaneous homogenization and boriding processes of stainless steels produced by the WAAM method would improve their microstructure and tribological behavior. This way, these steels can be used in wider areas of application.
