abstract = {High solidification rates and in situ heat treatments are
commonly found in additive manufacturing (AM) ofsteels,
resulting in a complex and far-from-equilibrium
microstructure. Therefore, standard post-processing
heattreatments commonly applied to wrought steels can favor
the occurrence of different phenomena and can changethe
phase transformation sequence, due to the unique
microstructure obtained by powder bed fusion – laserbeam
(PBF-LB). This work reports the microstructural evolution of
15-5 precipitation hardening (PH) stainlesssteel
manufactured by PBF-LB during direct aging heat treatments
at 621 ◦C (AMS H1150 standard condition), aroute used to
increase fracture toughness due to the martensite reversion
and precipitates coarsening. Thereversion of martensite into
a Ni-rich austenite, predicted by kinetic calculations, was
confirmed by high-energyX-ray diffraction (HE-XRD), being
preferentially nucleated close to the copper-rich
precipitates (CRPs), whichcan act as a preferential
nucleation site. CRPs presented an oval shape, as confirmed
by electronic microscopy(SEM and TEM) and atom probe
tomography (APT). Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of
high-resolution TEM(HR-TEM) images suggests CRPs still
present the metastable untwined 3R-type structure after 8 h,
rather than themost stable FCC structure. The presence of
retained austenite, inherent to PBF-LB-processed PH steels,
affects theCRPs evolution in different phases, and the CRPs
themselves act as nucleation sites for Nb(C,N)
secondaryprecipitation. These findings emphasize the
necessity of microstructure-oriented heat treatment routes
to unlockthe full potential of additively manufactured PH
stainless steels.},
