Spatial and temporal variation of hardness of a printed steel part

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of hardness of a tool steel part at various locations can be calculated using computed thermal cycles and a Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetic relation, which can serve as a basis for tailoring the hardness of some additively manufactured parts.
