Stainless steel 316L based materials modified by the additions of iron-based wear-resistant alloys (Colferoloy@ 103 and 139) used for thermal spray coatings applications were fabricated by EBM. Process parameters were tailored to fabricate compact specimens of 1cm3 in an Arcam A2 (Arcam AB, Mölndal, Sweden) at Mid Sweden University. Microstructural features of the materials obtained were characterized by OM and SEM in polished and etched samples. Nanoindentation tests carried out at different penetration depths were performed on selected areas of the polished specimens to evaluate the materials micro/nano mechanical behavior and to establish correlations with the observed microstructure.
