Additive manufactured (AM) materials exhibit enhanced performance, while post-processing is essential to reinforce its properties. Controlling the tunable factors and the underlying strengthening mechanisms during the post-processing are a key to answering the calls from the industry and end users. We identifed the principal strengthening factors that contribute to AM stainless steel under heat-treatment and weighed their importance. The as-built sample exhibited a unique microstructure with a heterogeneous grain size distribution, a small amount of retained austenite, high dislocation density, and dispersed oxide particles. The strengthening primarily by dislocation forest and additionally by heterogeneous grain size contributed to the as-built sample. Although aging slightly decreased dislocation strengthening, superior aging enhancement was achieved by Cu-precipitates. The solid-solutionizing not only increased the effective grain size but also reduced the dislocation density by eliminating the heterogeneous microstructure, which deteriorated the precipitation hardenability. Our fndings shed light on the performance optimization of AM metals.
