Abstract
In this research, the effect of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) of laser solid formed (LSFed) 300M steel was investigated. The results showed that the as-deposited microstructure of LSFed 300M steel consisted of martensite and coarse bainite. After heat treatment, the microstructure became homogeneous and was primarily composed of tempered martensite, bainite and a small amount of retained austenite. The FCGR of LSFed 300M steel gradually increases with increasing stress ratio (for a given stress intensity factor range and stress ratios between 0.1 and 0.5). The refined austenite grain of heat-treated LSFed 300M steel reduced the fatigue crack growth threshold (FCGT) and the FCGR. The fractography of as-deposited LSFed 300M steel was different from that of heat-treated LSFed 300M steel.
