The results reveal that LPBF samples exhibit a finer martensitic microstructure with presence of structural defects, pores, and some non-metallic inclusions randomly distributed at the grain boundaries and within the grains and an almost absence of austenite, compared to rolled samples. Additionally, after identical heat treatment, LPBF samples maintain a relatively unchanged microstructure while aging of rolled samples leads to a reduction in martensite in favor of austenite and Cu- and Si-rich precipitates. The LPBF samples demonstrate slightly elevated hardness (HV0.5 + 20%), mechanical strength (UTS + 15%) compared to rolled ones. Nevertheless, LPBF samples display a distinct behavior, characterized by abrupt fracture and reduced elongation at failure (El% max. 4% vs. 17.5%). Specifically, failure in LPBF samples is attributed to cleavage and cavities’ coalescence contrasting with the progressive failure mechanism observed in rolling ones driven by plasticity and damage evolution. Furthermore, the impact resistance of LPBF samples is notably weak (K max. 12.5 J/cm2 vs. 155 J/cm2), which is likely caused by macro- and microstructural defects generated by the LPBF process and the nucleation of harmful precipitates. The study proposes that the ductility of LPBF samples could be improved by implementing appropriate heat treatment and reducing defects through parameter optimization and by specific thermal cycle control during the LPBF process. 000015259 540__ $$acorrect 000015259 592__ $$aHEI-VS 000015259 592__ $$bInstitut Systèmes industriels 000015259 592__ $$cIngénierie et Architecture 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$a17-4PH martensitic stainless steel 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$alaser powder fed fusion 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$arolling 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$amicrostructure 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$amechanical properties 000015259 6531_ $$9eng$$aheat treatment 000015259 655__ $$ascientifique 000015259 700__ $$aSghaier, Thabet A.
