This report focuses on summarizing mechanical behavior of 316H stainless steel (SS) printed using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). 316H SS is one of the six alloys that has been qualified for use in nuclear reactors. The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) program has identified the use of the additive manufacturing (AM) process of LPBF as one of the manufacturing modalities to fabricate components for nuclear applications. Unlike wrought material, AM material displays significant heterogeneity in properties, resulting from changes in process parameters, machine-to-machine variability, and minor changes in feedstock chemistry from one batch to another. Although significant work has been done on 316L SS in the literature and has been summarized in several review papers, very limited data exist on 316H SS. Therefore, this report aims to provide a concise summary of the properties of 316H SS printed using different machines and at different locations as a part of the AMMT program.
