Mechanical properties and microstructure of hybrid-manufactured 316 L using PBF-LB/M and DED-Arc/M – Data

This dataset contains the mechanical test data supporting the publication: Mechanical properties and microstructure of hybrid-manufactured 316 L using PBF-LB/M and DED-Arc/M. It includes hardness measurements (Vickers and UCI), tensile test results, and corresponding images, organized as follows:

Vickers hardness data:

Stored in CSV format.

Images corresponding to the indentations are included, with their correspondence documented in the CSV file.

An additional image provides an overview of the arrangement of indentations on the specimen.

UCI hardness data:

Stored in CSV format.

The data is in a 2D format, with the columns representing values in the x-direction and the rows representing values in the y-direction, with an equi-distant spacing of 0.2 mm.

An additional image provides an overview of the measured hardness map.

Tensile test data:

Stored in MATLAB MAT-file format.

For each specimen, three files are included:

Gauge: Evaluation of the specimen surface, including the interface between the DED-Arc/M and PBF-LB/M zones.

Left: Evaluation of the DED-Arc/M side of the specimen.

Right: Evaluation of the PBF-LB/M side of the specimen.

The hierarchical structure of these MAT files includes the original data and additional metadata.
