The adverse effects of nickel ions being released into the human body have prompted the development of low nickel/nickel-free austenitic stainless steels for various applications, especially for medical applications. We are exploring the possibility to develop LPBF process for printing a novel steel, PANACEA which has not be printed before using LPBF. We present the variation of the microstructure, especially the phase volume, by changing the printing parameters and its influence to the mechanical properties. EBSD, SXRD and ND is used to investigate the microstructure after printing, during annealing and to test the mechanical properties.
