研究目的
To elucidate the grain growth mechanism of IN718 superalloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM), focusing on epitaxial growth and competitive growth patterns.
研究成果
The study concluded that epitaxial growth in IN718 superalloy fabricated by SLM can occur by retaining the same direction or rotating by 90° across the melting pool boundary. Competitive growth is determined by both the heat flow direction and preferred crystallographic orientation. Grains tend to grow along the preferred crystallographic orientation due to high solidification rates, with faster growth observed when the deviation angle between the heat flow direction and preferred crystallographic orientation is smaller.
研究不足
The study focuses on the grain growth mechanism in IN718 superalloy fabricated by SLM, but the findings may not be directly applicable to other materials or manufacturing processes.
