High-performance maraging steels fabricated by selective laser melting has received a great deal of attention in automotive applications. This paper reports on the microstructure evolution of resistance spot welded maraging steels via selective laser melting and their relation to mechanical performance. Four regions of inner fusion zone, outer fusion zone, heat-affected zone and base metal are found in the spot welds of maraging steels. The inner fusion zone is observed in the form of column dendritic structure in directional solidification, whereas the outer fusion zone forms coarse equiaxial structure with various crystal orientations. Grain refinement and the existence of texture would increase the hardness in the inner fusion zone with comparison to the value of outer fusion zone. Moreover, the relative softened outer fusion zone would make the crack initial in the zone and propagate along the sheet thickness, which results in the occurrence of partial interfacial failure.
