Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of low-cost high strength steel by plasma arc-based directed energy deposition by Jikang Fan, Hongyu Tan, Hongyu Zhang, Na Qi, Linye Duan, Jian Zhang, Dongqing Yang, Yong Peng, Kehong Wang

“…Higher solution temperatures led to coarser martensite and reduced ductility, while lower temperatures (900–1000 °C) retained residual austenite and anisotropy. These findings demonstrated that SAT effectively homogenized microstructure, eliminated anisotropy, and primarily enhanced strength through precipitation strengthening.…”
