Data Demonstrating the Effects of Build Orientation and Heat Treatment on Fatigue Behavior of Selective Laser Melted 17-4 PH Stainless Steel

Axial fully-reversed strain-controlled (R = -1) fatigue experiments were performed to obtain data demonstrating the effects of building orientation (i.e. vertical versus horizontal) and heat treatment on the fatigue behavior of 17-4 PH stainless steel (SS) fabricated via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) [1]. This data article provides detailed experimental data including cyclic stress-strain responses, variations of peak stresses during cyclic deformation, and fractography of post-mortem specimens for SLM 17-4 PH SS.
