Abstract

A manufacturing process includes additive manufacturing a component; and precipitating carbides at grain boundaries of the component.

Claims (4)

1. An additive manufacturing process comprising:

selective laser melting a component with an increased carbon content alloy powder during the additive manufacture process, wherein the increased carbon content alloy powder has between 0.03% and 0.04% carbon;

providing stress relief, hot isostatic pressing and solution heat treat to the component; and

precipitating carbides at grain boundaries of the component with a heat treat process after the providing stress relief, hot isostatic pressing and solution heat treat to the component.
