Abstract

This work focuses on high-cycle fatigue and quasi-static tensile performance of additively manufactured and wrought 17–4 stainless steel. Test specimens were manufactured using a Markforged Metal X printer via the atomic diffusion additive manufacturing process or machined from commercial stock. High-cycle fatigue testing showed that wrought specimens could sustain higher loads at 106 cycles (565 MPa) as compared to additively manufactured specimens with solid infill (216 MPa) and triangular infill (136 MPa). The mass-normalized fatigue responses of the additively manufactured specimens were similar when comparing in-fill type while wrought specimens performed roughly 50% better across the range from 104 to 3.5 × 107 cycles.
