Subgrain-controlled grain growth in the laser-melted 316 L promoting strength at high temperatures

Stainless steel 316 L prepared by laser melting consisted of a hierarchical austenitic microstructure with micrometre-sized (10–25 µm) grains containing fine 1 µm subgrains with a cellular structure. At high-temperature thermal treatments (greater than or equal to 1100°C), merging and growth of the...
