Mechanical properties, phase and microstructure stability of laser melted steel was studied. Duplex austenite-ferrite assembly with improved mechanical properties was formed. Dissolution of Mo in the Steel matrix resulted in ferrite stabilization and stress relief. Enhanced mechanical properties were achieved compared to conventionally casted and annealed steel.
