This paper reports on spall damage mechanisms in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) fabricated stainless steel 316L (SS316L) subjected to uniaxial, strain plate-impact loading and explores failure evolution with increasing impact velocity and peak pressure. Analysis of velocimetry profiles reveals a heterogeneous failure response with several different failure mechanisms activated during impact and resulting spall. The analysis is supported by optical microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) observation of soft recovered impacted samples, which show evidence of localized nano-twinning, twin growth, severe grain rotation, and grain refinement along the spall plane, in addition to pore nucleation, coalescence, and growth. Furthermore, the observed failure mechanisms, including crack formation and propagation along high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), are not consistently indicative of ductile fracture typical of wrought stainless steel.
