Microscale residual stresses in additively manufactured stainless steel

The impact of grain-scale residual stresses on the mechanical behaviour of 3D-printed metals and alloys remains unexplored. Here, the authors combine in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and computer simulations to link residual stresses in steel to its tensile behaviour.
